This challenge is a partnership of architecture for humanity (an incredible organization that focuses on sustainable developments in communities) and 50by15 (another cool org with the mission to provide 50% of the world with affordable internet access by 2015).  The challenge gives architects, designers, and students the opportunity to design sustainable technology facilities in three under-served areas: Nepal, Ecuador, and Kenya.

I love seeing professionals get together to develop smart, green solutions to problems that are traditionally left to NGOs with limited resources and heavy pressure to develop the lowest cost solution.
