A Mile in Another’s Shoes
Two children pose infront of their school in Sikharchandi.
Quicksand’s approach is about human-centered research and design and Project Sammaan encapsulates this.
An ancillary goal in this project is to engage and inform a larger community about sanitation in India specifically and life in the slums here generally.
For some of us at Quicksand, Sammaan represented the first opportunity to visit a slum community. We decided to share that experience by embedding Ryan and I (both Americans) in one of the slums we’re working with for 24-hours. The objective being to share what living without adequate sanitation would be like, if only for a short time.
