Shelter Projects

Floods, earthquakes and wars are driving millions of people out of their homes. They lose everything they had after their town is destroyed. They have to flee their hometowns as the disaster hits and it tears their community apart. It’s not only their homes, it’s their lives… For 156 million people in need of shelter, this is a frustrating reality.

What is the Situation Around the World?

In Bangladesh, over 943,000 stateless Rohingya refugees reside. The vast majority live in 34 extremely congested camps, including the largest single site, which is host to more than 635,000 Rohingya refugees.
In Turkey, Lebanon and Northern Syria; 5.4 million refugees are living in tent camps. Their situation is getting worse especially during the harsh winter season.
