For families who must stay in refugee camps for years, there is an urgent need to provide them with safe and durable shelter.
A shelter that will last; that protects families from the elements and ill health; and that offers a dignified and safe way of living for those forced from home.
The Refugee Housing Unit (RHU) is a self-standing, sustainable and durable shelter, designed through a collaboration between UNHCR, the social enterprise Better Shelter and the IKEA Foundation. The RHUs have panels to make up bedrooms, a kitchen area, a lockable door and a LED lamp which provides more than six hours of light.
