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.
How we transform lives
Shelter is more than just a roof – it’s a home. The impact of ShelterBox provides the foundation for life, for families, for communities.
