Providing Shelter - One Home at a Time
PROJECT OVERVIEW
This project will involve providing prefabricated temporary housing units to Gaza from Egypt, which are easy to transport and install, with a high level of thermal and acoustic insulation. These housing units will be entirely manufactured in Egypt, including both the labor and materials/components.
PROJECT OBJECTIVES
Our project aims to achieve two goals simultaneously:
This assistance can be effectively provided through the use of dignified and easy-to-install prefabricated housing units, resembling 'caravans'
PROJECT COST
The current estimated unit price is approximately 2000 CAD (1300 EUR) (ex-works Egyptian factory). This price includes all supplies and accessories for setting up a bungalow of 15 to 18m2. It is noteworthy here that the cost of raw materials, energy, and labor is highly volatile in Egypt. The exchange rate is also highly fluctuating, with a significant difference, ranging from half to double, between the official exchange rate and the actual price in the local monetary market.
UNITS DELIVERY The management of the humanitarian, logistical, and administrative operation is ensured by:
CAMPAIGN TARGET & IMPACT
A heavy-duty truck will be able to transport up to 5 disassembled bungalows instead of 2 assembled ones.
The cost of 5 disassembled bungalows would be 10.000 CAD.
Each bungalow, when assembled, will provide shelter for approximately 8 people, totaling around 40 individuals. The impact of this initiative is significant as it addresses the urgent shelter needs of a vulnerable population affected by conflict. By providing these prefabricated housing units, we aim to offer safety and security to those displaced and alleviate their suffering amidst challenging circumstances, in addition to empowering local businesses in Egypt.
