CBC News reports that 1,200 HousAll shelters will be shipped to Haiti on Friday. The shelter “consists of plastic panels that pop into a steel frame” and will be used for medical clinics and daycares. The Founder of HousAll, Miles Kennedy is reported as saying:

“Two people can put them up with only one tool — a screwdriver,” he said. “They’ll withstand monsoon rains, near-hurricane winds and phenomenal snow loads.”

HousAll is working in Haiti with Save the Children, Care Canada and Partners in Health.
