One Room Shelter Program - IOM Pakistan

The one room shelter strategy was devised by IOM in response to the massive early recovery shelter needs across Pakistan. Due to the unprecedented numbers affected, the geographic scale and the varied culture/climate in the area affected, a low‐cost and flexible solution was necessary. The one room shelter strategy aimed to support the most vulnerable of those with a completely destroyed house to rebuild one durable flood‐resistant room, according to local designs and materials, promoting self‐recovery and coping strategies wherever possible.
