Our technical support is not only from professionals in the shelter sector but also from the expertise of individuals working at a grassroots level that have a lifetime of bamboo experience.
​
The engineering profession have been particularly supportive. Engineers that have experienced working with the RSK have provided invaluable technical support. Individual engineers continue to ensure we remain well grounded on technical issues at all times. Engineers Without Borders have assisted with the research and development; introducing us to undergraduates at Galway University Engineering department who published their research on the RSK shelter kit as part of their engineering degree and subsequent graduation (publication available, please contact us). RedR have repeatedly asked us back to run a weekend hands on RSK module for young engineers and this always provides valuable technical feedback.

Engineer Samir Nepal as our Nepal project lead and chief training instructor. He has selected and trained an RSK shelter disaster response team to instructor level that have recently been deployed to provide RSK shelters to earthquake and fire victims in 3 remote communities in east and west Nepal. A further 45 volunteers have also received RSK shelter training to provide backup if needed.
