Better Shelter

Better Shelter is a humanitarian non profit organization based in Sweden. We started as a small social enterprise in 2010 with a big mission dedicated to sheltering displaced persons with safety, dignity and hope on their path towards a more stable life in a permanent home of their own. While our work has grown in scale, our small team continues to offer support to our partners and deliver our shelters internationally from our warehouses in Poland, Turkey and Panama. Since 2015, we have delivered more than 65,000 shelters to emergency, crisis and development programs in over 78 countries. We have been able to impact the lives of hundreds of thousands of displaced persons through our collaborations with humanitarian NGOs and INGOs, UN bodies, philanthropic foundations, academic institutions, including the UN Refugee Agency, UNHCR, the IKEA Foundation, Aga Khan Agency for Habitat and the University of Baghdad. In 2020, Better Shelter established a charity registered in several countries, including the United States.
