SHELTERBOX – DISASTER RELIEF WORLDWIDE
The ShelterBox Trust is a registered UK charity that provides emergency aid for victims of natural and other disasters anywhere in the world.
Since operations began in January 2001, we have now helped around 500,000 people and worked in more than 30 different countries – responding to earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, tsunamis, wars, volcanoes etc
ShelterBox was set up by the Rotary Club of Helston-Lizard and all aid is distributed from our base in Cornwall. The charity is supported by international affiliates set up by Rotary clubs in a number of other countries, including the Australia, Canada and the USA.
Our answer
Our solution to disasters is the ShelterBox – a tough, green plastic box containing a 10-person tent and ancillary equipment designed to enable a family of up to 10 people survive for at least six months. Made to a unique design using high quality materials, our tents are suitable for a wide range of conditions. Other items in the box may include insulated ground sheets, thermal blankets, a multi-fuel stove, cooking equipment, tools, mosquito nets, water containers etc. Exact contents will depend upon local conditions and what is most needed.
Our mission
“To provide humanitarian aid worldwide in the form of shelter, warmth and comfort to people displaced by natural and other disasters.”
