Sheltersuit: Providing Dignity and Protection in Times of Crisis

Impact & Projects, Project Highlights
2 min read

Climate change, natural disasters, and conflict are driving forced displacement at an unprecedented scale. Every year, millions of people are left without shelter, exposed to the elements with nowhere to turn. While long-term solutions like housing and resettlement are essential, many individuals face immediate needs and this is where Sheltersuit steps in.

At Terry, we believe in supporting projects that create tangible impact for people and the planet. By adding Sheltersuit to our portfolio, we ensure that every purchase made through Terry can help fund life-saving shelter solutions for those who need them most.

A Lifeline for People Displaced by Crisis

Since 2014, Sheltersuit Foundation has been designing and manufacturing multifunctional, weather-resistant products that provide emergency relief for people who have been displaced due to natural disasters, war, extreme weather, or homelessness.

Their flagship products include:

Sheltersuit – A water- and windproof jacket that transforms into a sleeping bag, offering immediate warmth and protection.

Shelterbag – A portable, easy-to-carry sleeping system with an integrated mattress, suitable for warmer climates.

Sheltersleeper – A durable and insulated cover designed to protect displaced people from harsh weather conditions.

These innovative designs are not a replacement for permanent housing, but they provide a critical stopgap when no other options are available.

Why Sheltersuit Matters

Climate Displacement is Rising
According to the Internal Displacement Monitoring Centre (IDMC), 33.3 million people were forced to flee their homes due to natural disasters in 2023 alone. Many of them lost everything overnight. Sheltersuit’s solutions provide a crucial layer of protection in these emergencies.

Humanitarian Relief in Crisis Zones
Sheltersuit works with local NGOs and aid organizations to distribute their life-saving products to communities hit hardest by conflict and environmental disasters. From refugee camps to post-disaster recovery areas, their mission is to ensure no one is left unprotected.

Sustainability & Circular Design
Sheltersuit’s impact extends beyond emergency aid. Their products are made using recycled and upcycled materials, reducing waste and giving discarded fabrics a second life. Plus, their production process creates job opportunities for people with a refugee background, reinforcing a cycle of support and empowerment.
