description Kavumu, Burundi's fourth and newest refugee camp, is the site of Philippe Starck's Ideas Box, a portable computer lab providing educational resources to a largely illiterate population. It offers computers, paper books, electronic books, audio books, tablets, a movie screen, a video camera, and more, at a cost of $140,000 per box. Five have been built to date, and will be tested over the next year in Burundi and Rwanda. Six more are to be built by the end of the year, destined for Syrian refugees in Lebanon and Jordan. Here, Hughes delves into how humanitarian organizations can take a bottom-up approach, increase partnerships with organizations that have technical expertise, and assist in the development of refugee media vehicles.
