Earthquake Relief Steel Shelters for Haiti

SteelMaster Buildings is supporting the efforts to help those affected by the devastation in Haiti. With several steel buildings already in Haiti through World Vision and Cross World relief organizations and more steel building on the way, SteelMaster is answering the need for easy-to-construct building kits to provide safe, secure shelter for those in need.

Virginia Beach, VA (PRWEB) March 18, 2010 -- In the aftermath of Haiti’s recent earthquake which killed an estimated 300,000 people and left another one million homeless, relief organizations have been working around the clock to help alleviate the devastation. Two humanitarian organizations and a church pastor were in need of buildings and contacted SteelMaster Buildings, which is based in Virginia Beach, Va. to provide them.

World Vision Steel Building in Haiti

When World Vision Intl. and World Vision Haiti, a repeat customer of SteelMaster’s for many years needed additional shelters for food storage for the relief efforts, they contacted SteelMaster Buildings knowing that we would under promise and over deliver. “On many occasions, we have designed, engineered, manufactured and worked out the shipping logistics for large Hurricane resistant warehouses to arrive in Port-au-Prince, Haiti three times faster than any other company” says Noah Taylor, the Business Development Manager with SteelMaster who specializes in the Caribbean market. World Vision is an international Christian relief and development organization working on six continents. Cross World—an international evangelical Christian outreach organization with more than 400 member missionaries organized into over 80 teams in 25 regions around the world purchased a large housing shelter to house hundreds of people. The pastor and congregation of the Boca Raton Community Church joined together to purchase a steel shelter to be erected on the STEP Seminary grounds in Haiti where currently 5,000 people are living outside. This building will be the first building in the reconstruction phase of the seminary.

With our structures being the fastest to assemble using common/un-skilled labor without the need of special equipment, we can deliver a building anywhere in the world that can be assembled in half the time of conventional construction.

“Our hearts go out to everyone in Haiti and their loved ones,” says Michelle Wickum, the Director of Marketing for SteelMaster. “The fact that our buildings will be used for such causes is very humbling.”

“Haiti is also a location where many cyclones also seem to occur, and we are confident that our buildings will remain strong and intact through severe storms and floods,” says Wickum. “It is our hope the SteelMaster Buildings provide shelter and security to many people as they work to rebuild and repair their lives.”
