· INTRODUCTION ·
The social catastrophe in Latin America has its epicenter in informal settlements.
Latin America, the most urbanized and unequal region in the world, is home to 104 million people living in informal settlements. Here, one in four urban residents lives in a slum, shantytown, favela, or encampment, in conditions of poverty. While not invisible, these populations are often rendered invisible, forced to survive on their own terms while facing constant rights violations and the exhausting test of their resilience.

Archstorming is collaborating on this new competition with His Hands On Africa (“HHOA”), a non-profit organization founded in 2016 that aims to address the lack of dental services in developing countries. The chosen location is Rwanda, a small country in the heart of Africa.

This project is located in the Qianwan Area of the Qianhai Shenzhen-Hong Kong Modern Service Industry Cooperation Zone in Shenzhen, Guangdong Province.
