At ORD Germany gUG, we recognize that the availability of essential infrastructure is a critical factor in enabling communities to recover from crises and sustain long-term development. Access to quality education, healthcare, water supply, energy systems, and adequate shelter forms the foundation for community resilience, safety, and dignity. Our Social Infrastructure and Shelter programs are designed to respond to these foundational needs with a focus on sustainability, inclusivity, and local ownership.

 

Drawing from the extensive field experience of ORD Afghanistan, we support the planning, design, and implementation of infrastructure projects in underdeveloped, disaster-affected, and conflict-impacted areas. Our approach is people-centered, combining technical excellence with a deep understanding of local contexts to ensure that projects are not only structurally sound but also socially relevant and sustainable.

 

Our work includes the construction and rehabilitation of schools, healthcare centers, water supply systems, renewable energy infrastructure, and sanitation facilities. These interventions are often implemented in areas where such services are lacking or have been disrupted due to natural disasters or prolonged conflict. Each project is designed in consultation with local communities to reflect their immediate priorities and to promote a sense of ownership and long-term maintenance.

 

In parallel, we work on improving housing and shelter conditions, particularly for vulnerable populations such as refugees, returnees, internally displaced persons, and those living in disaster-prone regions. Our shelter interventions range from emergency shelter solutions in crisis settings to transitional and permanent housing that adheres to principles of environmental sustainability, cultural appropriateness, and disaster resilience.
