Sustainable foundation for new beginnings
The DS3-Global shelters are sustainably durable and designed to last - which means aid agencies can go beyond annual replenishment programs to extend their reach, to help more people affected by displacement.
Our Modular Family Shelter is a foundation for new beginnings, with each unit forming part of an interconnected space enabling individuals and communities of people to rebuild their lives.
