Shelter saves lives
In some of the world’s most vulnerable places, coronavirus is still a deadly threat. Devastated by disasters or forced to flee their homes, families urgently need shelter to help protect themselves from the virus.
Emergency Disaster Relief
Right now, more than 104 million people around the world have been made homeless by disaster and conflict. We’re working to change this.
By providing emergency shelter and tools for families robbed of their homes by disaster, we’re transforming despair into hope.
We want to see a world where no family is left without shelter after disaster. Find out more about us.
