the urgent need for RSK shelter kits
the RSK reciprocal frame roof is simple to build
4 bamboo poles are overlapped in turn to make a load bearing structure called a reciprocal frame
this reciprocal frame is lashed on top of 4 outer poles to complete the RSK roof frame
this strong and highly efficient frame supports the roof tarpaulin inside every RSK shelter
all RSK shelters use this reciprocal frame roof
emergency RSK
a shelter designed for both disaster preparedness and disaster response in any climate or terrain

health benefits
RSK shelters are designed to improve both
physical distancing and
isolation wards can provide
a safer more secure shelter

disaster response is greatly improved
rapid and highly efficient deployment of dignified shelters that aspire to Sphere guidelines
technical support
is mainly from peer reviews by engineers and shelter experts
who have built RSK shelters in the field and contribute invaluable
training and education
our training courses have demonstrated the importance of education for the wider understanding and scaling up of this exciting concept
