Insulated
Weatherproof Shelters: The Global Shelter is made of a recycled paper product and comes flat packed for optimal shipment. With a 2.2 m x 2.2 m floor area and 2.4 max height, the shelter provides adequate space for a family of four. These shelters will be available towards the end of 2001. |

| Water
Filters: Tri-Med already supplies collapsible water carriers in large numbers to the international community. We are developing a filter that can be screwed into the water container itself. This will give filtered water at the point of use, greatly enhancing sterility and give better protection from waterborne pollutants and parasites. The filter itself is derived from a product used by the military forces. |

WorldSpace
Radios: Unlike satellite TV, this service is free. There are no subscriptions to pay. In conjunction with WorldSpace, Tri-Med is currently investigating the feasibility of establishing a channel for the specific use by the NGO community, transmitting agency-specific programs as well as community based programs that are of benefit to the listeners. |
Whether
in Afghanistan or Kosovo, the cold can kill refugees exposed to
the freezing night. Tri-Med is working on developing an insulated
shelter that will give the refugee adequate protection.
