In today's world, where climate change and the issue of millions of displaced persons are growing concerns, we believe that finding effective yet earth-conscious solutions is essential.

This Earth Day, here are three ways we are empowering refugees while preserving the planet.

Reforestation: Nurturing Communities and Nature

In places such as Uganda, the threat of deforestation looms large, particularly in and around refugee settlements where trees serve as the lifeblood for constructing homes and supporting livelihoods. Acknowledging this urgent concern, Every Shelter launched an innovative reforestation program to empower refugees.

This initiative incentivizes refugees with goods and services from Shelter Depot, a hardware store within the settlement. Refugees play a crucial role in restoring their environment and bolstering their well-being and resilience by participating in Shelter Depot.

Plastic Upcycling: Transforming Waste into Shelter

Have you ever wondered what happens to those massive billboards lining the roadsides? Every Shelter turns this brand-sensitive waste stream into a valuable resource.

By saving these materials from going to landfills, Every Shelter turns them into strong, durable roofs for refugees and people affected by natural disasters. This innovative approach not only tackles the issue of waste management but also provides durable housing solutions for those in need, all while reducing the carbon footprint on our planet.
