Family Survival Kit
Family Survival Kit
The tent is designed to shelter a family of 8 in separable “rooms”. It not only meets, but exceeds, standards set out by the United Nations and the Sphere Project for disaster relief products such as this.
The tent is modular and can be connected with other tents of the same specification to provide a larger shelter system to house, eg a school or similar community co-operative.

The Disaster Aid Tent
Disaster Aid tents in a school configuration
The tent included in this kit is modular – it is able to be inter-connected with others to provide a larger system which can serve, for example, as a school.
Some refugee camps exist for some time, modular tents like this afford opportunities to form other community co-operatives too.
