Kaushal Shetty: Providing Innovative Post-Disaster Shelter Homes
Kaushal: Thanks for having me, Spiffy! Did you know that, in India, 5 million people are displaced every year due to disasters, and an additional 19,000 people are displaced due to violent conflict? Globally, about 86.5 million people are forcibly displaced worldwide every year and have to face the realities that deny them a dignified life and fulfillment of their opportunities. They are left stranded in transient community shelters till aid agencies create new homes. In this period, lack of proper housing hampers their health, education, and employment. That is where Nostos Homes comes in.
