About 3D Sisterhood

The 3D Sisterhood project series plans to set up a 3D printing farm in a community house in the village Baranivka in Ukraine. 3D Sisterhood will empower the female community members● to provide workshops for children, youngsters and adults● to produce objects and tools for the local needs● to sell objects to become self-funded● to conducted practical research on how far war-disabled people with prostheses can use the 3d printing technology to create their own useful tools that make everyday life easier

About Baranivka

Baranivka Community House Project was created in 2010 in the Ukrainian village of Baranivka of around 300 residents by a group of young Ukrainians who were inspired by the foundations for freedom trainings .
The Baranivka Community House Project started as an idea to create an ideal community that lives by the universal values of freedom, non-violence, diversity, friendship and common action, and shares the values of the IofC community. Guided by this idea and with the support of the organization, friends, romantics and idealists came together to bring these values to life through the construction of a house to serve as a training center in a picturesque area in central Ukraine. 
Now, Baranivka is a land-based, community-driven regenerative project, with the mission to be a safe space, that promotes peace, international collaboration, and artistic expression. It currently serves as an eco-retreat and a safe place for those impacted by war, primarily women, volunteers, soldiers on a vacation and artists in war.

    Funding Format:

    ● Donation based

Summary

 "Sisters can make it” is the first part of the 3D-Sisterhood project series. 
● Three members from the Baranivka community house will receive intensive 3D modeling and 3D printing training in Berlin provided by InMOE.● A 3D printing lab will be set up in Baranivka and the community house members will start conducting several training sessions with children, young people and other villagers in Baranivka. ● War-disabled people should also take part in the training sessions. ● The trainers will also conduct surveys to find out what kind of 3D printed gadgets/tools would be useful to create for war-disabled people.● Useful and sellable 3D printed objects are created in Baranivka with the aim to finance Baranivka in the long run.• Transfer of gained knowledge back to Germany (InMOE) on how to run workshops focusing on participants with prothesis.

Measurable project results and general objectives

Illustration

First workshops for children, teenagers and adults are conducted by the local trainers.

Illustration

War-disabled people learn the basics of 3D modelling and 3D printing and useful tools are designed and 3D printed for them.

Illustration

A survey with 10-20 participants is being conducted to find out what kind of 3D printed gadgets/tools would be useful to create for war-disabled people.

Illustration

Useful and sellable 3D printed objects are created in Baranivka.

Illustration

Expanding educational opportunities for children, young people and adults in the rural area

Illustration

To enable the community center to produce objects and offer courses with which it can generate income to become less dependent on donations

Illustration

If the project is successful, it can also serve as a model for other municipalities in rural areas and the concept can be transferred

Illustration

Support and empower women in the field of 3d printing, promote solidarity, sisterhood and activism

Project costs and how can you support the 3D Sisterhood project

To realize this ambitious project collaboration and support is needed. To start the project, we need about 3000€ to pay the travel costs of 3 Ukrainian women to come to Berlin for 3D printing training, to buy two 3D printers, some filament and a laptop .In order to carry out the project effectively and cover all costs, around 8,000€ is required.In terms of technical equipment, we need 3D printers, 3D printing materials, room fans, filament dryers, a laptop, spare parts and a portable power bank.
This project is dependent on donations. We would be delighted to receive material or financial donations. If you would like to see the list of machines needed, please contact us.
