PREPOSITIONED AID SAVES LIVES
Telling a family who has lost their home that we don’t have enough shelter is the toughest challenge we face.
Donate now to fill our global warehouses with life-saving aid.
EMERGENCY DISASTER RELIEF
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.
WHO WE ARE
ShelterBox exists to ensure no one is without shelter after disaster. We often work in places that others don’t, making sure that we reach families who need support to take the next step in resuming their livelihoods and rebuilding their communities.
HOW WE HELP
We reach the most remote communities
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.
