SOCIETAL MIRAGE OF THE POOR

Deliverables:  Project Canopy Mobile Application & Societal Jenga  

Poverty in Singapore suffers from a lack of visibility and existing inequality continues to entrench societal stratification.  

An all-in-one application for both the non-profit organisation, volunteers as well as the public. Through the Canopy app, users earn ‘rewards’ by spending their time volunteering, standing a chance to win prizes, deals and converting their hours to cash to donate to the non-profit of their choice. Through the act of volunteering your time, you’ll create be able to create social benefits through your time. 

A Jenga-inspired game, Societal Jenga have been made to raise awareness and destigmatise poverty and recognise our mutual dependence. Each block represents the various classes in society, each with their unique story. As each block is progressively, it creates an unstable structure. The game ends when the tower falls, the cycle of building the community continues yet again.
