Frank Schooley, Designer | Disaster Shelter

On the day of the 2010 Haiti earthquake, furniture designer Frank Schooley was saddened and moved by the destruction he saw replayed on the news.  It’s been estimated that 3 million people were affected by Haiti’s earthquake with approximately 316,000 souls perishing and 1 million Haitians left homeless. Haiti’s government also estimated 250,000 personal residences and 30,000 commercial buildings were either severely damaged or just collapsed altogether. Over three years later, sadly not much has changed. A traveler to Haiti today will find that the same disastrous construction is being rebuilt in the same dangerous way.

Being an industrious furniture maker, Frank knew he could help. Using the same techniques and materials he originally developed for his eco-friendly furniture line Terrapeg, he immediately starting drafting plans for a disaster relief shelter he calls Shelter In Day.

Shelter In A Day's Home for Haiti is on its way to the AID & International Development Forum in Washington, DC is May 21-22, 2013!

UPDATE: May 23, 2013
We're excited to announce Shelter In A Day won the 2013 AIDF Most Innovative Product award for our innovative emergency shelter homes!

---------------
AIDF aims to bring together practitioners and policy leaders from governments, UN, NGOs and private organizations, to highlight the challenges faced by the aid and development sector and share innovative ideas - like Shelter In A Day.

Sadly three years after a 7.1 earthquake rocked Haiti, 360,000 Haitians are still homeless living under tarps with limited access to clean water, little to nonexistent sanitary conditions and -- a cholera epidemic.

Shelter In A Day is an easy-to-assemble home that is an ideal Haiti house or for those displaced by other natural disasters. Our disaster relief shelter can be erected in one day, without tools or electricity, using a new patented “Tool Free Joint.”  Shelter's Tool Free Joint reinvents a simple, yet solidly constructed, carpenter style joint with a secure locking peg that is very easy to assemble.
