While a college student at Rice University Scott Key, along with the help of another student founded Every Shelter. The two young men saw the problem of shelter for displaced individuals across the globe, and came up with a solution. Every Shelter is a non profit designed to provide relief goods to those living in refugee camps and urban areas that have been failed by the systems designed by societies and governments to save them. One may become a refugee for many reasons, persecution, war, or disaster. These people are then placed in what is meant to be temporary shelters, but soon become long term dwellings when the conflict is not solved, or the system cannot help them out of their situation. With solutions to provide a durable floor that prevents disease, provides comfort as well as promoting individuals, Every Shelter accepts donations, partners with the private sector, and much more to improve the lives of these sojourners. Every Shelter recognizes that the problem is not a “one size fits all solution” and is going to take years to solve, but this does not slow them down. They provide rapid relief, for short term immediate needs, as well as gradual long term durable solutions. This organization focuses on quality design, while being human centered, and most importantly has an entrepreneurial mindset for development. In addition they place a high value on the entrepreneurial abilities of individual refuges because they will be the ones leading rebuild once the strife has subsided.
