Our ShelterBoxes and shelter kits are an emergency response, a tool, and a practical solution. In the midst of disaster, they are nothing less than a miracle. Find out more about our aid.

Families desperately need your help
Children in Syria and beyond are running for their lives. They’re running through dust and rubble, away from their burnt-out houses, away from fighter jets and bombs raining from the sky.
Right now, we’re helping these terrified children and their families. They’ve lost everything to the conflict in Syria – their homes, their possessions, their old lives.
Families urgently need warmth and protection from the harsh winter season. Tents, tools, blankets, solar lights, pots and pans can all help them survive.

Families in Syria desperately need your help
Ahmad and his family were forced to flee their home in a village in northern Syria. They ran away from bombing by planes.
With almost no possessions, they found refuge in a neighbouring village. But they were still not safe.
They hid in a forest, taking cover under the trees unable to sleep because of the shelling, rain and cold.
Eventually, they managed to get to a displacement camp, where they were given essential aid to survive through the ruthless winter.
Families like Ahmad’s in Syria and all around the world desperately need your help right now.
