What our partners say
Syria, Watan Foundation
“Better Shelter was supportive of Watan in preparing and processing the executive details, as well as training the field teams and support them during implementation. Their support had the greatest impact in accelerating the units shipping and convoy it to Turkey, and Syria.”
Nader Alali, Shelter/ NFI Program Manager
Ecuador, Agroapoyo S.A.
“Working with Better Shelter was very easy. They were always willing to help us, even though we are in different time zones. I would recommend working with Better Shelter, not only because of their great product, but because of all the support and help at every stage.”
Edgar Narváez, Projects & Innovation Manager
Syria, Maram Foundation
“I especially appreciate that Better Shelter kept us updated on all steps of the RHU installation and gave us the opportunity to participate in the RHUs improvement sessions through conducting very useful and interesting training in Gaziantep-Turkey.”
Tammam Dubel, Programs Manager
Pakistan, Aga Khan Health Service
“We procured some units for remote northern areas of Pakistan as a test case. These were required to set up field hospitals to address the sudden rise in Covid cases. Better Shelter made installation of these very easy by providing online training to the field engineering staff. The training was supplemented by WhatsApp during the actual physical installation. After satisfactory installation of units in Pakistan, online training was provided to our staff in the most remote areas of Afghanistan, Tajikistan and Tanzania. The installation of all the units was a breeze because of the excellent training support.”
Amir Jivraj, Global Lead Capital Works
USA, The Other Ones Foundation
“Working with Better Shelter could not have been easier! Their commitment to listening and creative troubleshooting have been key in our ability to pursue our mission of building a future where all people experience shelter, opportunity, and support. Even more, Better Shelter’s vast experience in remote support is exceptional and we had no issues learning to build with the guidance of the team. Through one-to-one online training and ready support while building our first few shelters we experienced immediate success. We empowered our community members to learn to build with Better Shelter and now have an entire team of specialists caring for and maintaining these structures.”
