Create Structure
A Structure home is a new approach to shelter. Instead of sending in tents or a prefabricated shelter, a sturdy metal frame is delivered that can be deployed quickly with a tarpaulin cover.
This serves as emergency shelter in the immediate aftermath of a disaster. Over time, as local materials become available and local markets start to function Structure can be upgraded with local materials by NGOs, local workers or residents themselves. Structure homes are only $365.00. They are large enough for a family of five and, they are modular. To fund a Structure home, donate to Create Structure today.
