Most of this population are women and children, and they bear the brunt of the effects.Jinkai Initiative is a Canadian organization started by Nigerian-Canadians, Emmanuel and Pamela Gyefrom Plateau State, based in Alberta Canada. The Jinkai Initiative, spearheaded by the Gyes, organized a uniquedesign competition for Nigerian Architecture students that took place in 2020, with prizes awarded to winnerson the 28th of October 2020. (www.jisc.com.ng)The challenge was for the students to design modern yet simple, affordable, easily replicable, andculturally appropriate housing which can be built by low skilled individuals. Homes will be built usingcompressed earth bricks and other locally available materials. This design initiative is aimed at reducing theeffects of psychological and physical trauma through the provision of one of the most basic human needs -shelter.The returnees will be trained on how to build these homes, thereby empowering them with new skillsthat can potentially empower them to earn income. Displaced people want and need to work -- some have beenreturning to their ancestral homes and rebuilding. The Shelter Competition program presents an opportunityto provide displaced people with better quality housing while concurrently developing skills that can be usedto earn an income. The new homes will be built using the traditional material, namely mud, with the addedinnovation of compression. These new homes will be more durable and resilient than concrete built homes. Thedesign of the homes is by Nigerian architecture students who have been challenged to take part in a competitionby designing culturally appropriate, innovative, affordable and sustainable structures that can be replicatedwidely.Nigeria presently has at least 17-million-unit housing shortfall according to various sources including theWorld Bank. Our shelter initiative has the potential to significantly improve the situation, delivering housing at afraction of the cost of conventional approaches. Our initiative focuses on rural housing and, as envisioned, couldpotentially halt or slow down rural-urban migration.Stake holders include the State Government, Federal Government of Nigeria through the FMHDSD,the displaced communities and their leaders both religious and secular. Others include the Local GovernmentsAuthorities, State Governments, multilateral organizations, tertiary educational institutions, N-Power etc. Theopportunity afforded by the competition is to advance a home-grown solution through harnessing the creativetalents of our youths.JINKAI Initiative Shelter Competition5
