By providing emergency shelter and tools for displaced families, we’re transforming despair into hope.

About us

ShelterBox delivers the essentials families need to begin rebuilding their lives in the aftermath of a disaster. From ShelterBoxes to ShelterKits, we can send immediate emergency shelter and other lifesaving equipment anywhere in the world. We instantly respond to earthquake, volcano, flood, hurricane, cyclone, tsunami or conflict and have responded to 275 disasters in 95 countries. ShelterBoxes typically contain a disaster relief tent for a family, thermal blankets and groundsheets, water storage and purification equipment, solar lamps, cooking utensils, a basic tool kit, mosquito nets and a children’s activity pack. ShelterKits contain plastic sheeting, basic tools, rope and fixings that enable families to rapidly provide their own shelter or make repairs to their damaged houses in the aftermath of a disaster. The contents of our aid can be tailored depending on the nature and location of the disaster, with great care taken sourcing every item to ensure it is robust enough to be of lasting value. Highly trained ShelterBox Response Teams distribute aid on the ground, working closely with local leaders, organizations, international aid agencies and Rotary clubs worldwide. Since its inception in 2000, ShelterBox has firmly established itself at the forefront of international disaster relief, providing emergency shelter for the world's most vulnerable people. www.ShelterBoxUSA.org

  • For Salman and his family, “home” has become a distant memory—but hope endures. Forced to flee their home in Gaza, Salman, his wife, and daughter have been displaced over 15 times, often sleeping in the open air. Conflict has scattered their family, leaving them longing for safety and reunion. Now, in a displacement camp, ShelterBox has provided Salman with a lifeline—a sturdy tent offering protection from the harsh elements, alongside essentials like warm blankets, cooking sets, and water carriers. “This tent is more than just shelter—it’s a step toward rebuilding,” Salman shares, holding onto his dream of reuniting his family and creating a home filled with peace. This holiday season, you have the power to provide more families like Salman’s with safety and hope. Every gift matters. Let’s make a difference, one family at a time.

  • In just 29 days, the #Philippines was struck by six devastating tropical cyclones, displacing over 1.4 million people. At ShelterBox, we’re expanding our response to meet the growing needs. Our team in the Philippines is in the affected area, providing support to the people impacted by both Storm Trami and Super Typhoon Pepito. We’re partnering with organisations like FACE Inc., to distribute emergency supplies like tarpaulins, tools, and solar lights - but we can’t stop there. The Philippines faces repeated disasters, leaving communities no time to recover before the next one. We must act now to prepare, protect, and help these communities before storm hits. Help us break the cycle of disaster. We need your help to make sure no one is left without shelter when disaster strikes. #TyphoonSeason #EmergencyResponse #SeasonOfGiving #ShelterBoxUSA
