Projects
Every Enactus project aims to solve
at least one of society’s social or
ecological challenges.
Touchprint makes tactile 3D images from a single photo for blind people using AI and 3D printing. People can upload a photo of choice in their website and they create a 2.5-dimensional relief that can be experienced using the senses of touch and hearing. There are about 40 million people in the world who are blind and could benefit from this solution. The technology can even be applied to art, culture and education by selling to museums, libraries, and schools with a focus on visual inclusion.
Touchprint already has their first pilot projects with the Staatliches Museum Schwerin and will soon be launching the product to the public.

Our Projects
ReDrop
Due to the lack of low-barrier, trustworthy sharing-infrastructure in which a fast and independent process is given, sustainable-conscious urban residents are unable to pass on their unused but functional stuff, leading to littering, resources wastage and political pressure.
ReDrop creates a trusted, local peer-to-peer drop-box system that is decentralized by cooperating with local stores and makes giving away unused items fast, simple, and truly reliable. By removing extra effort, storage barriers, and social distance, ReDrop ensures objects get a second life instead of becoming waste.

Tara
„Enabling fair colaborations between artisans and designers“
In the current state of the Home Decor and Design space the Global South offers vast artistic skills and cultural ressources, while the major parts of profits end up at big corporations in Industry Nations. Tara enables fair cooperations betweend designers and artisans by directly connecting skilled artisan businesses in the Global South and design companies in the Home Decor & Home Textiles sector.
Tara addresses a growing demand for high-quality, handmade interior products while promoting economic empowerment in artisan communities. Our approach combines modern digital technology with sustainable development practices to create lasting social impact through business partnerships.
Currently Tara is working on its first cooperation project with Sri Lankan artisans as a proof of concept.

ZweiMahl
“Defeating social inequality – plate by plate”
With ZweiMahl, our mission is to provide people with little to no income more dignity in their daily lives. Every sixth person in Germany, and nearly every second single parent, is at risk of poverty. Hardship is not always visible, and it shouldn't have to become visible through begging. Instead, we need low-threshold opportunities to ensure no one is excluded.
ZweiMahl aims to make this possible within the gastronomy sector. In the future, we want to establish a system in cafés and restaurants where customers can donate an additional meal or drink, a "ZweiMahl", during their purchase. Anyone in need of this support can see a display in the shop window indicating that a "ZweiMahl" is available and simply use a code word when ordering. This allows individuals or groups who otherwise couldn't afford it to enjoy a great time at a café or restaurant without having to identify themselves as "poor" or "needy."
To bring this concept to life, we are looking for energetic support!

Hopps
„Simplifying nonprofit bookkeeping“
Many nonprofit organizations still rely on Excel spreadsheets or accounting software that doesn't meet their specific needs. What’s missing is a solution built specifically for associations: simple, intuitive and compliant with nonprofit tax regulations. This is where Hopps comes in.
As a nonprofit open-source software, Hopps fundamentally simplifies accounting and tax reporting for associations. It provides digital relief for volunteers, offers students hands-on learning opportunities and ensures that civic engagement doesn’t get lost in bureaucracy.
Funded by the DSEE, we are currently developing an MVP with a web app and core features.
Together with you, we want to further refine the product and develop it alongside our first test users.
We’re excited to work with you to help as many organisations as possible with Hopps!
