sponsor a wheeel by yi-han cao from australia
designer's own words:
“Sponsor a wheeel” is a 3 in 1 homeless cart which provides shelter, storage and advertising spaces, all in a compact suitcase size. The unique integrated ad space allows companies and sponsors to place their ad on two sides of the cart and receive publicity while the cart is out and about. In return, the homeless receives supports of all kinds which may be prearranged with the sponsors. With this system the homeless no longer need to collect cans and bottles in exchange for cash and this eliminates the needs for a large storage space. Instead they can use all storage space for their personal belongings. The four wheels on the cart are connected to a rechargeable battery which generate electricity as it travels and are used to run the LED lights which illuminates the ad. Stored electricity may also be used for other low energy electronic devices. Its expandable shelter is easy to assemble with single pulling action which provides large enough space for a person to sit or sleep inside.
This is a unique mobile homeless cart that is not a mere band-aid solution for the homelessness, but a possible cure for the problem. It provides opportunities for them to work by lending out their ad space and with the support of the sponsors they are given a chance to return to the society and stop being a homeless. When they successfully become a working member of the society, the cart can be pass on to another homeless. With enough carts and sponsors, there is a good chance that homelessness may become the problem of the past.
