Dear Friends,

In 2023, powerful earthquakes in Morocco, Syria and Turkey resulted in thousands of casualties and left survivors with destroyed homes. War-torn countries currently face a similar plight. Providing shelter to affected communities is a moral imperative, which is sometimes complicated by logistics and political will.

Although usual emergency solutions provide immediate relief, they are ultimately not viable to solve such crises. In fact, they are harmful in the long-term, as they lead to protracted refugee situations where refugees remain in camps much longer than intended.

From a pragmatic reading of the facts, we offer an alternative to the traditional way humanitarian agencies deal with crises. We are a team of architects, designers, engineers and scientists striving to build resilient communities, to think of emergency shelters as homes and of refugee camps as future cities.

Your support is crucial for our mission. Your help will enable imminent housing while reducing the dependency to degraded shelters, eliminating the risk of permanent slums, preserving the dignity of people and restoring their civic pride by offering a sustainable long-term alternative to tents.

We would love to hear from you should you have questions, comments, or just want to say hi. Please connect with us and consider supporting our action by sharing, joining and/or making a gift. ❤

Best,

The Team
