Shelter and Non-alimentary Aid

In times of crisis and displacement, a fundamental concern is providing a safe haven, especially for vulnerable populations like children, women, and men.

Bonyan recognizes this pressing need and is committed to enhancing access to life-saving Shelter and NFI assistance, ensuring a protective and secure environment for those affected.

Our primary goal is to bolster community resilience by expanding shelter capacities within host communities.

Post-Earthquake Response (February 2023)

In the aftermath of the devastating earthquake that shook Turkey and Syria in February 2023, Bonyan intensified its efforts. We focused on immediate shelter and NFI needs, working tirelessly to provide vital assistance to those affected by this calamity. We believe that a safe shelter is the first step towards healing and recovery. 

Future Endeavors and Strategy

Holistic Integration: Bridging the gap between Shelter and NFI programs and other essential programs such as ERL, WASH, and FSL to create a comprehensive impact. 

Reaching the Most Vulnerable: Our aim is to assist the most vulnerable individuals in NW Syria, ensuring that no one is left without adequate shelter and essential NFI items. 

Innovative Solutions: We strive to introduce innovative projects to enhance shelter adequacy, including sturdy transition shelters and multi-story residential blocks.
