Help every refugee create home.
The refugee crisis is massive. Millions of displaced people are stuck in limbo for decades. But together, we can build a better way forward. Join The Haven, our community of monthly givers, to help every refugee create home.
Our Work
We are building a modern, intelligent refugee shelter ecosystem
that puts refugees at the center of their own recovery.
Every Shelter has developed a comprehensive approach to the complex nature of refugee aid. We believe in the refugee – their humanity, their wholeness, and every person’s right to have a home. We are building solutions to empower refugees for lasting, generational impact.

Everyone has the right to adequate housing. This right is affirmed in dozens of international treaties, conventions, charters, policies, and laws. But what does adequate actually mean? Is it purely subjective, or are there standards to which we can hold one another accountable?
What We Do
We partner with local refugee-run organizations to employ and empower displaced people through opportunity.
We provide opportunity through skills training, entrepreneurship, and craft by investing in the local production of shelter goods that refugees need to survive -- like our weather-proof tarps for displacement camp housing from repurposed billboard material. Tarps that make the difference between a home for a month and a home for years. Sustainably and locally made by refugees for refugees.

"I joined the Haven because I love their focus on improving the lives of refugees by working to improve the built environment that they live in every day, sometimes for years on end. Since starting to partner with Every Shelter, I've only seen them get more passionate about and focused on fulfilling this mission in practical, sustainable ways. I'm always excited to see what's coming next to take new steps forward."
"We joined the Haven because every person should have a space that is safe to sleep in. Every person should have access to a clean floor and stable roof. Every Shelter is doing great work. We have confidence in the wisdom and care of the people leading it out and we are glad to be able to be a (very) small part of it."
