• bringing clean water

  

  Led by John Bielenberg, Project M is an intensive summer program designed to inspire young designers, writers, photographers and filmmakers by proving that their work can have a positive and significant impact on the world.

  In the month of June, eight young designers from San Francisco, New York, Dallas, Baltimore, and Dubai, came together in the rural town of Greensboro, Alabama with the goal of making a positive difference in the community. Inspired by Samuel Mockbee and the Rural Studio, they designed a newspaper, website, and a t-shirt to help bring clean drinking water to rural families.
