Shelter for those in need
World Vision’s shelter expert, Rod Imer, says the style of housing World Vision is introducing doesn’t need to be temporary. Rod has worked with a company specialising in post-disaster shelter to design aluminium framed shelters that are sturdy, pliable and easy to assemble.

Once land has been confirmed, construction can begin, in partnership with Habitat for Humanity to create foundations.

These frames can be used with tarpaulins or canvas for immediate shelter and privacy, then take on building materials, doors and windows as they become available.

They are movable, appropriately sized for families, and able to be arranged in a way that forms communities.

* of which 93 per cent has been allocated directly to the field for immediate and long-term relief efforts as part of World Vision's International response.
