Response Team member Jodie Hurt and a local man lift a supplies from a helicopter in a ShelterBox camp at Uniao Dos Palmares, Alegoas, Brazil following flooding in 2010.

With support from ShelterBox, a man is able to rebuild his home on the island of Dominca, 2018.

Southeastern Zimbabwe had experienced the worst flooding in 40 years after a fractured dam caused over 20,000 people to abandon their homes. ShelterBox responded in 2014 and helped for over six months, sheltering families and support their children’s education.

The kit helped us a lot. We used to feel cold and sleep on the ground and on stones in the tent. Now we sleep and sit on the mattress. The blankets are good for keeping warm with our children.”
-Umm, Syria, 2020
