KAHRAMANMARAŞ, ADANA, HATAY, OSMANİYE – TÜRKİYE

Dorce is an approved supplier for numerous international humanitarian organizations including the United Nations (UN), UNICEF, WFP, and IOM (International Organization for Migration).

Following the civil war that began in Syria in 2011, Dorce established large-scale temporary settlements and container cities in Hatay, Kahramanmaraş, Adana, and Osmaniye, providing prefabricated modular units of various sizes and types for over 150,000 refugees and displaced communities. With a production capacity exceeding 100 units per day, Dorce delivered rapid, reliable, and standardized humanitarian accommodation solutions as an approved supplier to UN agencies and international NGOs.

Humanitarian and Rapid Solutions for Mass Displacement

Mass population movements triggered by war, natural disasters, or forced migration demand fast, coordinated shelter solutions. Refugee camps built in response to the Syrian conflict and similar crises provide not only physical shelter, but also essential environments for rebuilding lives either temporarily or over extended periods.

Working collaboratively with national authorities, the United Nations (UN), international aid organizations, and NGOs, Dorce designs and constructs modern living environments where displaced populations can live safely and with dignity.

Dorce’s Approach to Global Disasters and Forced Migration

Every year, earthquakes, floods, landslides, fires, volcanic activity, and other disasters destroy populated areas and leave thousands of families without safe homes. In addition, ongoing regional conflicts and wars force millions of people to abandon their homes, cities, and even their countries. Women, children, and the elderly are often the most severely affected.

The resulting shelter crisis is not merely a physical need; it is a humanitarian challenge with deep psychological and social impacts. Restoring safe and dignified living conditions quickly plays a vital role in reducing trauma and supporting recovery.

With this awareness, Dorce provides secure, healthy, and sustainable modular housing solutions for disaster survivors and displaced communities. Designed with engineering precision and industrial production power, these structures aim not only to meet basic shelter needs but also to re-establish humane living standards.

Dorce cooperates with national disaster agencies, international humanitarian partners, and NGOs, supporting rapid-mobilization projects during crises. Emergency accommodation units are engineered for diverse climate and field conditions and can be deployed for use within a very short time.

Our prefabricated modular emergency container solutions are designed for refugee populations displaced by forced migration, as well as all communities requiring safe temporary housing. Dorce continues to support the global humanitarian shelter effort through active participation in projects led by the UN and international aid organizations.

Dorce’s production quality, rapid manufacturing capacity, and strong logistics capability have positioned the company as an approved supplier for the United Nations, UNHCR, IOM, Red Cross–Red Crescent, UNICEF, and many leading NGOs. Our globally standardized production contributes to creating safe living environments in some of the world’s most vulnerable regions.
