TENTS AND WIND - A SERIOUS PROBLEM

It is our most sincere desire that the million of Haitians living in tents during the upcoming storm season do not suffer the inequities of other refugess (shown in picture, Jordanian refugees after a wind storm).

ABREF

The design of tents for refugees has been plagued for years with serious shortcomings. Not any more, as our contributors have provided us with a set of features that we are putting together, designing the perfect tent.
Its features:

• Internal guy wires that you can't trip over as they are built into the walls.
• Allows groupings of basic units called 'ABREFS',  in thousands of different ways.
• Wind resistance tested in wind tunnel at our Mexico facility.
• Can be quickly on spit of size.
• Can be subdivided into roomettes quite easily.
• Forms a bundle that is easy to carry.
• Comes with color coding and personalization features.
