THE CHALLENGE
Refugee and migrant accommodation is rarely a short-term issue. Host countries must therefore develop sustainable solutions that extend beyond temporary shelter and emergency assistance.
The effective management of refugees, migrants and asylum seekers requires structured accommodation, protection, education, healthcare, vocational development and social-integration programmes. These measures should help residents live safely and with dignity while respecting the laws, customs and social values of the host country.
At the same time, host communities must receive appropriate information and support to encourage mutual understanding, social cohesion and respect for human rights.
Leaving vulnerable populations without adequate accommodation, supervision, services or opportunities can lead to exploitation, insecurity, social tension and serious humanitarian consequences.
WHAT WE DO
We design, construct, equip and manage purpose-built shelters for refugees and migrants. Our turnkey solutions include the design and supply of all raw materials, prefabricated units, finished products, infrastructure and operational systems required for the complete development and day-to-day functioning of each facility.
Depending on the location, intended capacity and specific requirements of the competent authorities, a shelter may include:
- NATO-type security fencing, supported by surveillance, access-control, alarm and emergency-response systems.
- Self-contained, container-type accommodation units based on standard 20-foot and 40-foot ISOBOX structures. These units can be fully equipped for families of four to five people or configured as larger accommodation facilities for individual men, women and unaccompanied children.
- Central food-preparation facilities, food-distribution centres, dining areas and restaurants.
- Kindergartens, schools, classrooms and vocational-training facilities.
- First-aid centres, medical stations and basic healthcare facilities.
- Dedicated places of worship appropriate to the residents’ cultural and religious requirements.
- Indoor recreation rooms and communal social-gathering areas.
- Internal road networks, sewage and drainage infrastructure, together with plug-and-play connections for electricity, water, telecommunications and internet services.
- Playgrounds, parks and sports facilities.
- Central warehouses, storage facilities and distribution centres.
- Fire-prevention, fire-detection and firefighting facilities.
- Internal minimarkets and essential-goods outlets.
- Security stations, reception areas and administrative-management facilities.
- Additional infrastructure and services determined on a case-by-case basis according to the shelter’s population, location and operational requirements.
SHELTER MANAGEMENT AND RESIDENT SUPPORT
