THE CHALLENGES
Allowing crisis-affected people to live in safe, dignified and appropriate shelter is fundamental to successful humanitarian relief. While this has always been the case, the front lines of displacement crises have shifted away from rural areas over the past few decades, such that approximately three quarter of the world’s refugees and internally displaced now live in urban centres (Development Initiatives 2020).
Combined with the effects of climate change, many of the guidelines governing shelter in rural settings have been found to be unworkable in densely populated cities subject to frequent natural disasters.
The need for more effective, timely and efficient shelter responses is therefore critical. Season Relief’s shelter unit stands ready to help overcome these challenges and to assist our partners wherever possible across the developing world.

THE CHALLENGES
In an emergency situation, families often flee with little more than the clothes they are wearing and consequently find themselves displaced without any personal belongings. In addition to food, they urgently need a number of non-food items (NFIs) to survive, including for shelter, cooking, health and sanitation.
Sourcing NFIs is therefore a critical facet of humanitarian relief, but the challenge does not stop there. Once sourced, they must be distributed to displaced populations in a coordinated manner that takes into account specific needs pertaining to culture, gender and local environments.
At Season Relief, we help our partners navigate these challenges and better meet the needs of displaced persons worldwide.
OUR SERVICES
1. Supply of emergency shelters
At Season Relief, we supply various UN agencies, international NGOs, private companies and civil society organisations with the following NFIs groups:

THE CHALLENGES
Across the developing world, rapid population growth in mega-cities has resulted in dense concentrations of people crowding into increasingly dangerous places such as flood plains. While environmental health in these areas is poor at the best of times, it becomes catastrophic following natural disasters, and the same may be said of the camps that become rapidly populated by people displaced due to conflict. In such contexts, the risk of diarrhoea, cholera and other disease outbreaks becomes particularly acute.
It is therefore vital to ensure the rapid supply of water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) services to emergency-affected populations – a challenge that Season Relief stands ready to undertake alongside our partners.

THE CHALLENGES
We live in a time of unprecedented advancements in global health, but many of these achievements are out of reach for the estimated 168 million people currently affected by humanitarian emergencies.
For such populations, conflicts, disease outbreaks and natural disasters bring a number of particular challenges. A lack of safe drinking water revives the threat of centuries-old diseases such as cholera, while shortages of basic medicines can turn manageable conditions into mortal threats over night.

THE CHALLENGES
Major food shortages can be a primary feature of an emergency, such as in droughts or floods that lead to famine. They can also be a consequence of war, economic disaster and population displacements.
These shortages can lead to serious malnutrition among emergency-affected populations, which intensifies the disease burden and risk of mortality. This, in turn, reduces the prospect of a rapid recovery and places great strain on scarce resources.
Nevertheless, the risk of malnutrition can be mitigated with the right interplay between factors such as civil security, access to health services, food availability and robust supply chains.
OUR SERVICES
1. Foodstuff supplies
At Season Relief, we supply various Global Nutrition Cluster partners, governments, local NGOs and private companies with the following products to fend of the risk of malnutrition during emergencies, To help fight the malnutrition burden across developing markets, we supply UN agencies, NGOs and private companies with bulk quantities of products such as:

- Water purification products
.. and much more besides, including emergency food preparation equipment.
These products are available in various varieties in line with differing partner requirements and standards. This, in turn, enables us to cater to the specific needs of as many emergency-affected populations as possible.

THE CHALLENGES
Conflicts, natural disasters and pandemics prevent millions of children from attending school and the numbers are rising. Yet even during such crises, education remains a fundamental priority for communities and aid organisations alike.

THE CHALLENGES
As noted by ALNAP, emergency response efforts have sometimes excessively pursued emergency shelter and facilities to the detriment of long-term solutions. This can result in inadequate finance and human resources left over for permanent recovery. Worst of all, transitional facilities can evolve into permanent structures, leaving affected populations with poor quality infrastructure that is ill-suited to their long-term needs.
Fortunately, governments and international agencies have devoted increasing attention as to how humanitarian relief can be linked with long-term recovery and development in recent years. Construction plays a pivotal role in this regard; correctly implemented, it bears the potential to eliminate the need for temporary shelter and facilities altogether in some contexts – and Season Relief is dedicated to supporting this effort.
