Sustainable Solutions for a Better Future.
Lifeshelters provide a safe and healthy indoor climate, contributing to an overall improvement of physical and mental health. Statements from the beneficiaries living in Lifeshelters have indicated a decrease in the need for medical assistance.
Lifeshelter Classroom provides a safe and healthy learning environment, where children are protected from hazardous weather conditions. The rapid scalability and low cost helps overcome current capacity-related challenges to the aim of providing education for all.
Lifeshelter is designed to be produced locally. Establishing a local production instead of importing housing solutions increases the employment rate, builds local capacity, and contributes to economic growth. In time this leads to a much more resilient community.
Lifeshelter ensures an increased access to adequate, safe, and affordable housing. Lifeshelter is made from recyclable and reusable materials, and no scarce natural resources are used in the production. These benefits help creating sustainable communities.
Our World,
Our Responsibility
At Lifeshelter we are committed to developing and producing solutions that are sustainable for both the inhabitants of our shelters, the local societies, as well as for the environment.
In our efforts to advance the Sustainable Development Goals we support the Ten Principles of the UN Global Compact with respect to human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption.
Throughout our value chain we strive to combine bottom-line profits, sustainable environment practices, and positive societal impact.
"Many challenges exist (...) to create jobs and prosperity without straining land and resources (...) There needs to be a future (providing) opportunities for all."

Sustainable in Many Ways
Avoiding Deforestation
The production of our shelters does not contribute to the drainage of scarce natural resources such as deforestation. This is important to us, and we use sustainable and recyclable materials exclusively.
Increasing Life Span
If needed a Lifeshelter can be upgraded to a more permanent solution by placing the shelter on a raised foundation. This increases both the life span of the shelter and the living standard of the inhabitants.
Reducing Waste
Most of the tents and shelter solutions typically used today consist largely of plastic and other polluting materials. By replacing these solutions with Lifeshelters, tons of waste can be saved anually.
Saving Money
Compared with tents and less durable shelter solutions our shelters save a lot of money in the long run due to their much greater life span. Most tents last less than a year, whereas Lifeshelters last 15+ years.
Reusing Materials
The basic structure of our shelters consist of stone wool panels. When a shelter is no longer needed, it can be disassembled, and the stone wool panels can be reused as insulation for other buildings.
