Immediate Protection from the Elements
When disaster strikes—whether it be devastating floods, earthquakes, or fires—the loss of a home happens in seconds. For families caught in the wake of such catastrophes, the immediate aftermath is a race against the elements. Without a roof, survivors are exposed to extreme temperatures, disease, and the psychological trauma of displacement. In these critical hours, a tent is more than just fabric and poles; it is a life-saving sanctuary and the first step toward recovery.
At Haidury Education & Welfare Trust, our Emergency Shelter programme is designed for rapid deployment. We issue grants to source and distribute high-quality, weather-resistant tents and temporary shelter kits to those who have lost everything. We focus on providing immediate security so that families can stay together and remain safe while they begin the long process of rebuilding.
“Whoever eases the plight of one in distress, Allah will make it easy for him in this world and the Hereafter.”
Sahih Muslim, Hadith 2699
Our Grant-Making Process Includes

- Displacement Camp Support: Funding the setup of temporary shelter clusters in safe zones, including basic partitions for privacy and dignity.
- Protective Bedding Grants: Ensuring that every emergency shelter is equipped with high-quality ground mats and waterproof covers to prevent damp-related illnesses.

Why These Grants Matter
Prevents Exposure-Related Deaths
Immediate shelter protects survivors from hypothermia, heatstroke, and the dangers of sleeping in the open.
Restores a Sense of Security
Having a private space, however small, helps reduce the trauma of displacement and keeps families unified.
Reduces Disease Transmission
Tents provide a barrier against mosquitoes and dampness, slowing the spread of malaria and respiratory infections in disaster zones.
