Shelters, Solutions & Services: Our Eco-System of Success -
DS3-Global build good shelters and good systems.
From structure to solar, safety to storybooks, we’ve developed an adaptable, modular eco-system of physical products, digital tools and human-centered services, all designed to restore dignity, speed up recovery and localise outcomes.
Our solutions work together in field-tested harmony, reducing logistical friction, cutting costs, improving impact and enhancing wellbeing.
What’s in the DS3 Eco-System?
CommUnity Shelter+ Modular shelter with security, privacy & climate resilience
Sentinel+ Durable hard-cover option for longer-term and harsh conditions
Solar & Power Packs Plug-&-play energy kits with lights, phone chargers and fan units
Essential Add-ons Hygiene kits, weather covers, safety mesh, ramps, insulation mats
Deployable Hub Kits Community-scale repair, manufacturing and deployment kits for local teams
Digital Apps Tools for camp mapping, needs tracking, inclusive design feedback
Children’s Book Series Coping with Disasters tiered book series for children
Training and Manuals Visual, multilingual guides for setup, repair and community adaptation
Everything works together
DS3’s innovation is more than design — it’s interoperability.
Our ecosystem has:
Shared form factors (modular, flat-packable, lightweight)
Adaptability (for urban or rural, short or long-term use)
Climate control options (natural and mechanical)
Inclusive safety layers (ramps, privacy, group shelter models)
Low emissions & high reusability
Why it matters
Millions of people live in compromised shelter all over the world
Climate threats like monsoons, landslides, blizzards, extreme heat/ cold are intensifying
Wars and conflicts continue to create significant upheaval, fear and displacement
Field coordination is complex and logistics are costly
The humanitarian system is under pressure to localise, innovate and do more with less
That’s where DS3 fits in: we’re a ready-made, plug-in ecosystem that strengthens what agencies already do, while filling serious gaps with smarter tools, social value, and design that meets people where they are.
Designed for Partnership
“We don’t arrive with a logo. We arrive with a toolkit — and a willingness to listen.”
DS3-Global co-creates deployments, training programs, community hubs or field pilots with:
Local NGOs (e.g., NGO Forum, BRAC)
International agencies (e.g., UNHCR, IOM, ADB)
Government authorities and host municipalities
Education and WASH implementers
Engineers Without Borders, youth groups, disability networks
Deployment with Purpose
Arriving in reusable waterproof bags, with 250mm water-proofing depth, our shelters are climate reactive, 100% recyclable and deployable, feature maximum ventilation options and stainless steel poles.
Shelters comply with international standards and ISO accreditations and have an unprecedented 24-month warranty on the fabric and poles.
On a multi-year frame agreement, aid agencies can house twice as many persons on the same budget using our product, compared to alternative options so it is an economically smart option.
Our Shelter Models
CommUnity Shelter+
Rapid-setup modular shelter designed for dignity, safety and climate resilience. Includes disability features, privacy panels, lockable doors and gender-inclusive space options.
Our shelter systems are designed to last. Adaptable to varied climates, terrains and cultural needs they can be assembled with ease, taking about 25 minutes with illustrative instructions provided. From compact family shelters to scaled-up clinics or learning spaces, their modular nature supports custom configurations and community clustering.
Sentinel+
A durable, hard-walled shelter for prolonged use in conflict zones or disaster-prone areas. Fire-rated panels, scalable layouts and passive/ active cooling integration.
Our shelters use proprietary coverings adapted in GSM weight and weave to suit specific scenarios. Integrated features include floor-level water barriers, modular insulation and our Tension Pro+ system - a secure tension structure that enhances safety and stability. Security features like mosquito screening, UV covers, lockable doors and energy solutions are embedded, not optional.
Citadel+
Semi-permanent structure for schools, clinics and community hubs with high weatherproofing and partitioning. Ideal for transitioning from emergency to recovery.
Our shelter ecosystem is built on circular economy principles emphasising durability, modularity and environmental stewardship at every stage of the product life cycle. Resilient, fire-retardant, UV-treated and waterproof X-Weave material coupled with the unique segmented fabric design, simplifies maintenance and ensures targeted, cost-efficient repairs without the need for complete replacement.
Integrated Add-Ons & Enhancements - solutions that adapt to what is most needed
DS3 shelters are site-smart and people-first. So whether you’re responding to a sudden-onset disaster, protracted conflict displacement, planned relocation for climate adaptation, community development or camp upgrade - we’ll help tailor the solution mix to match your context, your timeline and your budget.
Solar & Power Packs
Plug-and-play kits for lighting, fans, phone charging. Solar or grid-charged.
Ramps & Rail Systems
Modular, lightweight access ramps with optional handrails for wheelchair and mobility support.
Privacy Mesh & Nets
Internal mesh barriers for added safety, privacy, and visual zoning.
Insulated Floor Mats
Protect floors, add thermal comfort and soften hard ground contact — in several modular sizes.
Ground Locks
Safety tie-downs using snatch-strap-grade nylon webbing for cyclonic and flood-prone zones.
External Ground Sheets
Heavy-duty base layer to reduce abrasion, protect floor integrity, and prolong shelter lifespan.
We redefine how an emergency response can become a platform for long-term resilience and local empowerment.
Our mission is to alleviate suffering, promote resilience and restore hope in times of crisis with innovative, inspired and impactful accommodation shelters, services and solutions.
