About us
We provide emergency shelter to people who have lost their home to disaster, enabling them to rebuild their lives.
In 2023, ShelterBox teams helped communities affected by devastating earthquakes in Turkey, Syria, and Morocco. We were there for people after flooding in Libya and Pakistan. We supported people in Ethiopia facing severe drought as well as displaced families in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Malawi, Mozambique, Somalia, Ukraine, and Yemen.
Thanks to your incredible support and the help of our worldwide partners, we provided shelter and essential aid to 325,000 people.
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’re ShelterBox. A global community that believe shelter is a human right.
