Project: Improving Access to kitchen facilities for the wheelchair bound In our project, we proposed modifying the whole

kitchen based on the needs of the wheelchair bound target group, improving their access to the kitchen and thus enhancing their kitchen experience. e had planned to use solar power to operate our adapted laundry system. !ut one limitation of our adapted laundry system is that the solar panels located at the ends of the poles are very small due to the large cost for the solar panels. "hus, little energy can be absorbed, which may be insufficient to operate the whole system. "o further counter this limitation, an external power supply that works on an A# Adaptor can complement the solar panels to ensure that enough energy operate the system. "his also further ensures that the system does not malfunction or stop working due to the low battery power. "o further enhance our project, we can further adapt the design of the cleanser to ensure greater convenience and usability. "he original idea is that there is a cleanser tube that can be rotated $%& degrees to clean the sink. !ut it is troublesome as manual operation of the tube is needed and there are still also certain corners at the ends of the sinks that the tap cannot reach. "hus there is inefficient cleaning of the sink. 'ence, the cleaner can be redesigned to adopt the idea of dental sinks. Instead of a tube, water will move in swirls around the sink to wash away any particles or stains around the sink. "his ensures through cleansing of the whole sink and maintaining cleanliness of the sink. (or our project funding, collaboration is done with 'ousing ) *evelopment !oard to provide subsidies. In the case that '*! is unwilling to provide full subsidies for our project, another stakeholder, +tandard #hartered, can be considered to provide funding. +tandard #hartered !ank is well known for its charity efforts with organi,ing charity runs such as +tandard #hartered -arathon which is held annually. It had also organi,ed worldwide projects such as .+eeing Is !elieving/, in which access for eye0care is improved for millions around the world. "hus, with an extra stakeholder, +tandard #hartered, to provide subsidies, this ensures that our project remains affordable for all, even the low0income, and that everyone, regardless of socio0economic background, can reap the benefits our adapted project brings to them.
