 * 1. Under each of the six categories, shelter, health, water, education, energy and transport, choose one project which interests you. For each category, describe how it is designed to alleviate poverty for the project's stakeholders. (6 categories x 1 paragraph = 6 paragraphs)**=====

**//Shelter: Mad housers Hut//**

 * =====Mad housers hut is a very useful project that started by Georgia Tech architecture students. They build small shelters for the homeless so they don't have to sleep on the street and be cold. The shelter can be build less than half a half day (which is very easily to provide homeless and at the same to they can feel secure and stable) The idea of this project is to provide homeless people have a place to stay so they can focus on their other needs, and no need to worry they don't have a place to stay. When they have a secure and stable shelter, they can be more positive and this maybe allow them to help others like them.=====
