Right now, over 100 million people around the world have been made homeless by disaster and conflict. This number is expected to increase to 200 million people by 2050. (Noman Myers, Oxford University)
Shelter is essential for personal safety, security, and protection from extreme environments.
Shelter promotes resistance, it protects families from harsh weather and disease. More than just walls and a roof, shelter is vital to human dignity and is the center of family and community life. Shelter reduces vulnerability, builds community resilience and provides a foundation for people to recover from disaster and humanitarian crisis.
You can be a part of the solution.
