Shelter Toolkits
When people lose their homes, they lose their security and belongings, and they lose dignity and privacy. Emergency shelter protects vulnerable people from danger, suffering and exploitation.
When people lose their homes they also lose their largest financial and social assets; they lose their sense of belonging and family heritage. The home may be the work-place, and they may lose the ability to earn. Exposure to the elements, over-crowding and a lack of washing facilities makes people ill. An unfamiliar environment and the lack of privacy can be traumatic. Poverty and the loss of livelihood makes rebuilding and recovery hard.
Supporting vulnerable people to recover adequate and dignified housing after disaster is one of Cyaxis International partnership areas with humanitarian organizations to defeat poverty and achieve social justice. We supply shelter toolkits that can be used by the affected persons to rebuild temporary homes fast.
