Providing Safe Shelter
in Times of Need
HHRD’s Shelter Relief program provides a lifeline when disaster strikes, offering a range of housing solutions from temporary shelter to permanent homes. We help displaced families by providing and building safe, stable structures such as tents, bamboo houses, and semi-permanent homes, ensuring a path to a dignified recovery.

Rebuild Lives, Restore Dignity
In the wake of disaster and displacement, the Shelter Relief program offers more than wallsβit offers dignity, safety, and a renewed hope. From refugee camps in Jordan to earthquake-stricken villages in Syria and Morocco, we build homes that become sanctuaries. Each shelter is a testament to compassion: solar-powered, water-secure, and designed for families to heal, learn, and grow.

FAQ
As a leader to empower lives, creating opportunities and strengthen the bond of humanity.
Is my donation Zakat eligible?
Since the beneficiaries are extremely poor, most of the scholars allow Zakat to be used for this project.
How do you choose which countries to work in?
There has to be a man-made or natural disaster which would have caused
migration/displacement of the victims. HHRD takes many factors into account
including donor interest, local need and potential impact.
How are beneficiaries selected?
Beneficiaries are selected based on these criteria: number of family members, number of children, number of vulnerable family members including those with disabilities and the elderly.
Where are the homes constructed?
There are Caravan homes provided to the Syrian refugees in the deserts and/or camps. These Caravans are manufactured in a factory and are transported to the sites. The shelter homes for Rohingya Refugees are built with bamboo and tarpaulin in the camps. Brick and mortal homes are built for Pakistan flood victims at the sites of their destroyed homes. In Morocco and Northern Syria, permanent homes are available in model villages.
Are the people who construct the homes HHRD employees or local contractors?
HHRD employees are not allowed to take part/benefit in any financial activity. They are there to manage the entire processes.
If I make a general donation to the Shelter Relief Program, where does it go?
The donation will be directed to the area of greatest need.
Are the homes located near the familyβs previous shelter or far away?
It depends. Most of the time the beneficiaries find their new homes close to their existing temporary places.
Do the homes come with electricity and running water?
Yes, wherever possible, we help get the electric connection. Other places, solar panels are provided for solar energy. Water tanks are filled regularly in the desert and hand pumps are provided in the camps.

Supporting Refugees with Safety and Dignity
We deliver both immediate aid and long-term solutions in regions like Bangladesh, Jordan, Lebanon, and Gaza, serving populations including Syrian Refugees, Palestinians, and Rohingya who often live in poorly constructed camp structures.
Our Work
- Caravan Homes (Jordan): Since 2017, this project has provided sturdy, weather-resistant caravan homes to Syrian refugees in camps like Zaatari. Each caravan (6×3 meters) is built with a galvanized steel frame to offer protection against harsh elements and create a more dignified living environment.
- Shelter of Hope (Bangladesh): Launched in 2018, this project offers relief to Rohingya refugees. The 150-square-foot shelters are built with bamboo walls and feature solid cement flooring. These homes include integrated solar power systems to provide electricity for lighting, communication, education, and healthcare.
- Home Renovation Project: Β Since 2017, HHRD has renovated homes for Palestinian refugees and local Jordanians in 13 camps, including Gaza and Soof, creating healthier living environments for families who can’t afford repairs.
