and were able to document great sustainable inventions from the camp inhabitants. They have only little material and resources and still manage to invent great tools and create art pieces from it. The innovations range from art works and toys to carts for carrying water, a self made air conditioner and an upcycled gas heater. Hydrophonic gardening is used to have small gradens and grow vegetables without needing soil. Different ways are found to reuse and thereby save water. Click through the gallery below to learn about the upcycling innovations in the Azraq refugee camp. As we learned through our tour through the shelter homes: Necessity is the mother of invention.<\/p>\n<div data-carousel-extra='{&quot;blog_id&quot;:16,&quot;permalink&quot;:&quot;https:\/\/theball.tv\/2022\/blog\/2022\/12\/06\/the-ball-in-azraq\/&quot;}' id='gallery-2' class='gallery galleryid-1928 gallery-columns-4 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/theball.tv\/2022\/blog\/2022\/12\/06\/the-ball-in-azraq\/innovation-ac_1_7420_kll\/'><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"https:\/\/theball.tv\/2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/01\/Innovation-AC_1_7420_kll-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-2-1951\" data-attachment-id=\"1951\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/theball.tv\/2022\/blog\/2022\/12\/06\/the-ball-in-azraq\/innovation-ac_1_7420_kll\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/theball.tv\/2022\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/16\/2023\/01\/Innovation-AC_1_7420_kll.jpg\" data-orig-size=\"2508,1672\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-title=\"Innovation-AC_1_7420_kll\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;Nabiha, one of our participants, shows the air conditioning system her brother built in her living room, which works as follows: in summer, damp cloths are hung on the outside of the fan, which cool the air (up to 35\u00b0C) that is drawn into the room.
