About Shelterbox

We provide emergency disaster relief across the globe. We rely on all our supporters, without you ShelterBox could not continue delivering aid and shelter to those who need it most.

Shelterbox Description

Every year thousands of communities, often with no warning, lose their homes, their possessions and their livelihoods. Every day they are faced with a battle for survival.

We provide emergency shelter and vital supplies to support communities around the world overwhelmed by disaster and humanitarian crisis.

Since we began in 2000, we have responded to earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, landslides, typhoons and conflict, delivering emergency humanitarian aid to communities in need.

The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the Syria crisis, and the biggest storm to ever make landfall – Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines; we have responded to some of the largest humanitarian crises the modern world has ever known. Alongside this, we have also helped many thousands of people displaced by disasters that are not featured in the media. Simply put, if there are families in need of emergency shelter, we will do everything we can to help them.

Our vision
A world in which all people displaced by disasters and humanitarian crises are rapidly provided with emergency shelter and vital aid, which will help rebuild their communities and lives.

Our mission
To rapidly provide emergency shelter and vital aid to stabilise, protect and support communities overwhelmed by disaster and humanitarian crisis.

Forced out of his home, Simon sought shelter in one of his local churches. But the extreme winds broke the door open and water started pouring in.
Our teams worked tirelessly to help communities begin recovering in the Caribbean. On the island of Dominica, we provided ShelterKits to help families make repairs to their homes.

Bizli was left with nothing when the land she lived on collapsed into the river and all of her possessions were completely washed away due to the flooding in Bangladesh.
