Telling a family who has lost their home
we don't have enough shelter is the toughest challenge we face.
When disasters strike without warning, access to shelter can mean the difference between life and death. Prepositioning emergency aid in warehouses worldwide allows us to reach people faster and more efficiently.
In the past year, ShelterBox supported over 325,000 people in 14 countries, swiftly responding to crises in Morocco, Malawi, Ukraine, Gaza, and more. Now, we need your help to restock our global warehouses.
Stock the Box and fill our warehouses with lifesaving shelter.

Mohamed's Story
In September 2023, a devastating 6.8 magnitude earthquake struck Morocco, destroying Mohamed’s village and taking the lives of his loved ones. As a community leader, Mohamed not only rebuilt his life but also helped his community recover.
With aid prepositioned in our Dubai warehouse, ShelterBox and Rotary International provided tents, solar lights, cook sets, and thermal blankets to 20 villages, including Mohamed’s. This aid was crucial in protecting families from the harsh winter and keeping communities together.
Help us restock our warehouses so we can provide lifesaving aid when the next disaster strikes.
