Better Shelter awarded two design prizes

The Better Shelter team is happy and humbled to have been awarded the Beazley Design of the Year prize. The shelter was up against many amazing creations and ideas, and we were not sure we would stand a chance! So, thank you on behalf of the Better Shelter team and our partners, the UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR, and the IKEA Foundation. 

It is touching to witness peoples’ hard work towards their mission of improving the lives of others. We find it inspiring to see how design and technology are used in the most remarkable ways to make life safer and more comfortable for others and to witness peoples’ fundamental will to support and help in solidarity with strangers.

Winning this prize encourages us to work even harder and to continue developing our product until it is no longer needed with and for refugees.
