Dzaleka Refugee Camp is situated in one of
the poorest countries in the world - Malawi. It has existed for over 25
years and hosts about 40,000 refugees and asylum seekers.
A Burundian refugee, Remy Gakwaya, is a self-taught computer programmer. He
rented a tiny room in the camp and with one computer started to teach computer
programming skills. Later, they assembled a 3D printer, learned Rhinoceros and
they are now sharing these skills with others in the camp. When the
COVID-19 pandemic broke out, they immediately began designing and developing
3D-printed protective essentials such as face masks, face shields, and
equipment for aid-workers or hospitals.
