KEY MESSAGES
Shelter is a means of ensuring people’s protection by responding to their
rights to physical security, health, privacy and dignity. It provides a shield
from adverse weather and a space to live and store belongings. Good
shelter programmes can proviade a family with a place in which to base
livelihood activities and promote a sense of security whilst living in a
temporary community.
Shelter is a process and not a product. It is an incremental approach used
to support and accompany the affected households and communities in
their self-recovery process.
