CARE is building over 800 semi-permanent shelters with funding from the European Union, Norway and Austria. I spent a day with two of our shelter officers assessing construction progress. CARE’s shelters are being given to our most vulnerable beneficiary refugees. CARE builds for refugees certified by the International Red Cross and the Office of Prime Minister as “Persons with Special Needs” (PSNs), which include female heads of households, the elderly, disabled, and even unaccompanied children.Unfortunately, those with PSN status number in the tens of thousands just in the small areas of the settlements covered by CARE. The demand is heavy for these semi-permanent shelters. It is considered a huge improvement over the white UNHCR tarps and poles, which are designed to last less than a year. These should last several years, with one or two partitions inside for more privacy. They are either 5 meters (16 feet) by 3.5 meters (11 feet) with one partition for 4-5 people, or 8 meters by 3.5 meters with two partitions for 6-8 people. They are entirely made with mud bricks, which are not burned in a kiln, and mud grout, with iron sheet roofs. How many Americans would view such a home as a major upgrade? I wonder what my old HOA would have said if I tried to build one for a backyard storage shed?The construction projects have gotten off to a late start, and the rainy season is complicating the construction.
We advise the contractors to build only a few bricks height at a time, let them start to dry, and move to the next shelter, rotating until they are all built. But the crews hate to move, and keep building in one location, which makes the walls less stable and crooked.
A wall collapsed by rain. Inventories of mud bricks get ruined too, it they are not covered.

To make the shelters last longer, we tell the beneficiaries they need to smear mud on the walls’ surface, covering the bricks. This shelter is almost fished with smearing.
