A portable shelter having an inflatable frame that is lightweight and collapsible so that it can easily be transported from one place to the next without transporting heavy spars. The inflatable frame has only one external valve for inflation but creates a complex structure of circles, triangles and diamond-like shapes that provide a rigid and stable frame for a plurality of covering shells. The portable shelter adapts to any climate or circumstance by having an outer shell and an inner shell that can be easily modified accordingly. The portable shelter has solar panels that provide power to a power system and a storage battery therein to power an air pump to inflate the portable shelter frame. The portable shelter is completely self-sustaining. A plurality of portable shelters may be arranged into a self-sustaining village for people displaced by poverty, violent conflict and natural disasters.
