The world’s first all-weather, life-saving shelter for the homeless and vulnerable.
Our Journey
weatherHYDE’s inception was triggered by the tragic 2013 India riots, where 30 displaced children died from hypothermia. After analysing the limited solutions out there, we set out to create something better — a standalone shelter that prevents weather deaths.
weatherHYDE has received support from over 10,000 donors, volunteers, well-wishers and garnered over 100 million media impressions worldwide. We have broken new grounds in the fields of design, marketing, and philanthropy. But more importantly, every day, we are reminded of words from those like Khushi, a 23-year-old mother and weatherHYDE recipient, “This is my first home in 23 years.“
Our impact has been made possible because of our wonderful support network. To our friends, thank you for believing in us. We look forward to your continued support.
