Essential tools, shelter and materials
A look at the ShelterBox aid and equipment delivered to vulnerable families following a natural disaster or conflict.
EARTHQUAKE IN MOROCCO
ShelterBox has a team in Marrakesh. We’re working to understand how we can support people who have lost their homes in the 6.8m earthquake.
Everyone deserves a place to call home.
Right now, more than 100 million people around the world have lost their homes to disaster and conflict. We are working to change this. By providing emergency shelter, tools, and household supplies to displaced families after disaster, we enable families to begin to rebuild and recover, transforming despair into hope.
How We Help

ShelterBox goes to the ends of the earth to deliver aid to families in the most remote communities that have been devastated by disaster.
