Shelter
When people are displaced or lose their homes there is an urgent need for shelter. However, to be effective, the shelter needs to be appropriate and the site properly planned. The importance of well constructed, planned shelter and sites also needs to be understood in the context of health and people's humanitarian rights.
RedR's courses run in the UK teach the basic principles of shelter requirements and planning, and the links between appropriate shelter and the survival of people. They are suitable for anyone involved in the management and implementation of relief shelter projects and those interested in developing this area of work.
