Returnable and non-returnable tool kits and CGI sheets were provided to the community for construction of the shelters while labour and wood was being provided by the community themselves.

SRSP started a pilot phase of shelter programme in the Siren Vallley of Mansehra District funded by PPAF. Initially 20 Shelters were constructed. After the demonstration of these shelters another 25 were funded by a French Association. Similarly 125 Shelters have been constructed in Jaraid, Kaghan valley. These shelters provide more dignified way of living and are earthquake resistant.
A shelter of one room was designed by SRSP engineers and then discussed with the community for its social acceptability in the area. Two meetings were conducted with two separate community organizations of the affected villages. The designs were shared with members of community organizations (COs) of the affected villages of Andrasi and Gran Thali. Then a criterion for distribution was incorporated through community participation as to avoid generating any grievances in provision of these shelters.
The main points of the criteria are
- Single headed families were given priority
- Poorest and Vulnerable community members were prioritised
- Those members who do not possess the appropriate size of timber or are very poor were helped by the other members in arranging timber and construction
- Cutting of trees was not accepted
