The Conflict in Syria
We are providing shelter for families who have been forced to leave their homes due to the conflict in Syria.
Urgent Winter Wishlist
THOUSANDS OF CHILDREN AND FAMILIES ARE WITHOUT SHELTER THIS WINTER
BUT YOU CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Every day, homes are torn apart by disaster, conflict and climate catastrophe. Right now, this is the reality for thousands of people. For people who have lost everything, items others take for granted such as warm clothes and blankets, become a necessity.
ShelterBox provides emergency shelter and aid essentials at times of disaster and conflict. Help us be there for people who have lost everything by donating today.
Your donation will go where the need is greatest, helping people all over the world to recover after disaster.

Facing winter in a Syrian camp
Two year old Ftim, featured in our banner image, lives in a displacement camp with her siblings Rahma (aged 3) and Marwa (also aged 2), as well as her father. He was asked about the difficulties of raising a family in the camp, and how ShelterBox’s aid has helped.
He said, “It is difficult to be a father in a camp because the conditions are difficult and you have to provide for the needs of the children. The children loved the new clothes and colours, especially the jacket. I am very happy that they got winter clothes, I hope that my children will have a better future and get what they need.”
For children in Syrian displacement camps, winter clothes and jackets help them stay warm in the bitterly cold temperatures. It also allows them to play outside, bringing some joy and normality to a childhood disrupted by conflict.
A donation today can help ShelterBox be there for other families like Ftim’s and bring some happiness to people who have lost everything through conflict or disaster.
Help people to survive the winter
Thermal blankets
Cosy thermal blankets are essential for families facing freezing winter temperatures and give comfort for those recovering from trauma.
Family clothing bundle
A bundle of warm winter clothing in both adult and child sizes, could help whole families stay warm and dry as temperatures drop.
Mattress
A mattress could give families sleeping on uneven ground much needed comfort and help ward off the cold.
These items are representative of the type of aid we are supplying to Syria, and other locations affected by cold temperatures. Aid items, designs and models may vary.
Where will my donation go?
Your donation will go to our general fund, which will help families in Syria and around the world.
We believe that the best way for us to be impactful is by staying flexible, and it is essential that we have funds available to support people affected by conflict and disasters around the world. Donations to our general fund allow us to be able to respond to help people without shelter, wherever the need is greatest.
