The challenge
AZ Relief’s products and services help respond to one of the world’s most pressing challenges: forced displacement. But what is forced displacement and how do our solutions play a role in the recovery process?
Forced displacement
Forced displacement refers to a situation in which people are forced to leave their homes against their will for reasons such as conflict or natural disasters.
Millions of people are forcibly displaced each year, with numbers steadily rising over the past decade due to factors such as climate change and intractable conflicts.

How we help
In the immediate aftermath of a humanitarian emergency, forcibly displaced populations require urgent access to shelter. However, the recovery process – from initial homelessness to permanent resettlement – can take a long time.
In this context, it is crucial that temporary shelter solutions are made available to emergency-affected populations without delay. At AZ Relief, we design, manufacture and distribute these products for aid agencies across the world. In addition, we provide a range of auxiliary services such as consulting and logistics.
