Last year, Karel-Jan and Joshua came up with the idea to run 40 km from Ghent to Sint-Niklaas, nearly the distance of a marathon. This year, we have Stijn’s impressive initiative.

Tridealhouse: A smart home as a response to slum poverty

The idea was inspired by disasters such as Hurricane Yolanda in the Philippines, which wiped out millions of homes.
