We have all seen this scene in the news: people are forced to leave their homes to escape war, persecution, or a natural disaster. Families run in search of a safer place, leaving all their belongings behind. Once they finally find shelter, infrastructure is minimal, yet they need to find a way to restart their lives. This scenario can sound foreign to many of us, but that's the reality of nearly 60 million people worldwide.

This is why a team of DMOA architects innovated to create the Maggie Shelter and start a non-profit called Maggie Program. These initiatives help those who were forcefully displaced from their homes. With their support, access to proper education, healthcare, temperature-controlled warehouses, and community centers is no longer a dream but a reality.
