Our purpose

Providing crisis-affected populations with safe, dignified and appropriate shelter is central to successful humanitarian relief.

At the same time, this task is more complex than ever due to factors such as climate change and rapid urbanisation.

At AZ Relief, we work to solve this challenge through continuous innovation in the design, production and distribution of humanitarian shelter solutions, facilitated by enduring partnerships and deep in-house expertise.
