Shelter, Housing & Community Infrastructure

When conflict, disaster or economic hardship damages the places people depend on, recovery becomes much harder.

We support temporary shelter, safer homes, essential repairs and rebuilding, alongside community facilities, reliable electricity, clean water and other practical infrastructure. Where appropriate, this can also include basic furnishings, heating or cooling and essential utilities that help a family live safely and with dignity.

What We Support

From safer homes and community spaces to clean water, solar power and livelihood premises, we focus on practical infrastructure that helps people recover, reduce recurring costs and regain stability.

Shelter, Homes & Repairs

Temporary shelter, home repairs and essential improvements that help families live safely, securely and with dignity.

Community Places & Services

Community centres and shared spaces for learning, support, wellbeing and local activity.

Schools & Learning

Safe spaces for education and training.

Livelihood Premises

Practical support for small businesses and income.

Water & Sanitation

Wells, filtration and essential water access.

Solar & Power

Reliable electricity, batteries and efficient cooling.

Safe Shelter & Homes

For families facing conflict, displacement, disaster or severe hardship, a safe place to live can be the foundation for everything that follows.

Our shelter support can include temporary shelter, repairs and rebuilding, along with beds, essential furnishings, heating or cooling and basic utilities where they are needed. Funding is limited and every case is assessed carefully, but each safe home restored or supported can give a family greater security, dignity and stability.

Powering Communities

In Lebanon, unreliable electricity and generator costs place enormous pressure on homes and community facilities. Our solar projects combine panels, batteries and efficient equipment to provide more stable power and reduce recurring costs.
