San Salvador, El Salvador

In 1986, Dymax Designs was the predecessor to World Shelters. The Dymax Quonset won USAID/OFDA’s global competition for disaster relief shelters. This first version of the Q-shelter in El Salvador was deployed as part of a field test for USAID/OFDA. Displaced families lived in the shelters. The updated shelter again won in 1999-2000.
