Better Shelter

We are proud to announce the release of the Structure Pilot report, in partnership with SEEDS India, Aga Khan Agency for Habitat - AKAH, an Aga Khan Development Network agency, and produced by Shelter Centre. Structure builds upon the transitional tent and shelter approach, with the aim of empowering local communities and providing immediate support in emergency and post-emergency contexts. In 2020, the partner organization tested Structure with tarpaulin and local materials ...in Afghanistan, India and Tajikistan, to identify opportunities and challenges of its incremental approach. Come check out the results! The report and summary may be found on our website and Reliefweb

Did you know the transport industry accounts for around 20% of global carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions? Recently, focus has been placed on the impact of emissions from the transport industry and its direct impact on global warming and climate change. Additionally, conflict and climate-driven displacement has highlighted the need for immediate support and delivery of aid. To address this, while reducing the carbon footprint of our deliveries, we have set up 3 warehouses, s...trategically located to deliver shelters faster and reduce the need for emergency airfreight or road freight. From our warehouses in Poland, Turkey and Panama, our shelters can easily access the most urgent sites, providing rapid emergency support through environmentally-conscious transport modalities, and enabling the creation of space spaces for the duration of displacement and beyond. #bettershelter #rhu #shelter #cop26 #climatecrisis #co2emissions #reduce #warehouses
