Developing accessible, sustainable evaporative cooling technology for communities facing extreme heat without reliable electricity.
Learn About Our Mission
We believe that access to cooling during extreme heat should not be a luxury reserved for those with reliable electricity and substantial financial resources. Climate change is intensifying heat waves worldwide, yet billions of people lack access to life-saving cooling solutions.
Origami Cooler develops collapsible, solar-powered evaporative cooling systems that operate using only water and sunlight. Our technology provides effective cooling for places where electrical infrastructure simply doesn't exist - refugee camps, rural communities, disaster zones, and off-grid settlements.
Through innovative engineering and humanitarian partnerships, we're working to make cooling accessible to the world's most vulnerable populations.
Accessibility: Technology that works for everyone
Sustainability: Solutions that protect our planet
Innovation: Engineering that breaks barriers
Impact: Design that saves lives
People globally lack access to cooling when they need it most
Projected increase in heat-related deaths by 2050
Less energy required than traditional air conditioning
People without access to electricity globally
Providing cooling relief in temporary settlements where traditional infrastructure is unavailable. Essential for medical facilities, child care areas, and sleeping quarters.
Maintaining safe temperatures for medical equipment, vaccines, and patient care in off-grid healthcare facilities across developing regions.
Rapid deployment cooling for emergency shelters, field hospitals, and relief operations following natural disasters and extreme weather events.
Creating comfortable learning environments in schools without electricity, improving attendance and educational outcomes in hot climate regions.
Providing cooling relief for agricultural workers in extreme heat conditions, reducing heat stress and improving workplace safety.
Supporting rural and remote communities with sustainable cooling solutions that don't require electrical grid connection or expensive infrastructure.
Our evaporative cooling technology is based on a simple principle that has provided relief from heat for thousands of years. By enhancing this natural process with modern materials and solar power, we create powerful cooling solutions that anyone can operate and maintain.
Charges during the day, operates 24 hours on stored energy

Simple design enables maintenance with basic tools and local materials
Temperature Reduction: 15-25°F decrease
Coverage Area: 100-150 sq ft effective cooling
Water Efficiency: 8-12 hours per gallon
Setup Time: Under 10 minutes
Transport Size: Laptop-sized when folded
Our interdisciplinary team combines expertise in product design, humanitarian aid logistics, sustainable technology, and field deployment. We're currently developing multiple variants of the Origami Cooler system optimized for different humanitarian applications and use cases.
Working with international relief organizations, engineering consultants, and field professionals, we're ensuring our technology meets real-world requirements for the communities that need it most.
Current Development Focus:
• Medical facility cooling systems for vaccine storage
• Emergency response units for rapid deployment
• Educational environment cooling for schools
• Community center systems for public cooling spaces
Join us in developing cooling solutions for humanitarian applications. We're seeking partnerships with relief organizations, funding partners, and deployment specialists.
