With nowhere to turn, many displaced people seek shelter, often facing substandard living conditions. They have no guarantee of safety, or protection against the cold, damp, heat, rain or wind. Many settlements are meant to be temporary, but displaced people can spend years, and even decades, living in camps.</p> <p>You should apply for this opportunity if you meet the following criteria:</p> <ul> <li>Demonstrated capacity for leadership.</li> <li>Evidenced commitment to delivering positive change within one of the two scholarship focus areas. <ul> <li>Innovation for affordable and sustainable housing</li> <li>Supporting refugee and vulnerable communities.</li> </ul> </li> <li>Have a track record of generating impactful and innovative ideas.</li> <li>Addressing key local and/or global issues in your work.</li> <li>Having a good understanding of global issues.</li> </ul> <p>https://www.oneyoungworld.com/scholarships/holcim/apply</p>
