Our work in protection
We have supported missions in some of the world’s most severe crises, whether in response to displacement caused by natural disasters or violent conflict.
Our shelters are built to offer safety, privacy and peace of mind in times of crisis. With lockable doors and secure design, they help protect residents, especially women and children, and reduce the risk of sexual and gender-based violence.
