Shelter is a vital survival mechanism in times of crisis or displacement. It is also key to restoring personal security, self-sufficiency and dignity.

At BTPLA, a core part of our protection mission is to guarantee access to adequate shelter in humanitarian emergencies. We provide tents, distribute plastic sheeting and develop emergency strategies, tools and guidelines and rushing in emergency aid to those who need it most.

On cold nights or hot days, our help can be the difference between life and death.

We also protect internally displaced people. Internally displaced people (IDPs) have been forced to flee their homes by conflict, violence, persecution or disasters, however, unlike refugees, they remain within their own country.

At BTPLA we have been supporting IDPs since the 2007. We prioritize providing shelter by building homes and quality tents for displaced widows and children in their own country.

Home Reconstruction: $500 – Africa

GET THEM SHELTER IN THEIR TIME OF NEED

THE BTPLA TEAM IS DEDICATED TO HELPING THOSE WHO HAVE BEEN DISPLACED DUE TO DISASTER AND CONFLICT.

Internally displaced people, referred to as IDPs, have been forced to flee their homes by conflict, violence, persecution or disasters, however, they remain within the borders of their own country.

Globally, there are 62.5 million internally displaced people. They account for the majority of the world’s forcibly displaced population (58 per cent).

IDPs are among the most vulnerable people in the world, and many are trapped in protracted displacement for years or even decades. Uprooted from their homes and livelihoods, they often face dangerous conditions and continue to face risks even after fleeing for safety. National governments have the primary responsibility to protect and assist their displaced citizens and residents, but they may be unable or unwilling to do so.

When IDPs do settle, places of refuge may lack adequate shelter, food, clean water or health care. Even where such services exist, the sudden influx of people can overwhelm them. It can be difficult for displaced people to find work, leaving them without an income to support themselves and their families.

By donating towards this initiative, you will enable us to mitigate such like challenges and build new houses for families and construct tents for those who have lost their temporary shelters due to disastrous conditions.
