ShelterBox
ShelterBox provides emergency shelter to people who have lost their home to disaster, enabling them to rebuild their lives. Shelter is the foundation for life – for survival, stability and dignity. It offers a place to feel safe, stay together, stay healthy, earn a living and help children get an education. We provide shelter, essential items and technical assistance to help some of the world's most vulnerable people recover and rebuild their homes after disaster.
We listen and adapt our support to the needs of each community, working together with those affected by disaster, alongside our supporters and partners.
