Earthquake Shelter Homes

When an earthquake strikes, the first 72 hours are about survival — tents, blankets, and clean water delivered to wherever people have gathered. Our rapid-response teams are trained to be on the ground within a day.

Once the immediate emergency has passed, the harder work begins: helping families move from a tent to a home that can withstand the next earthquake. We work with structural engineers to design simple, reinforced homes that local builders can construct quickly and affordably.

We stay involved until every family we’ve committed to has a roof that will hold.
