Getting there fast – and first

ShelterBox frequently manages to reach disaster scenes ahead of other, larger aid agencies. That’s because ShelterBox’s links with the worldwide network of Rotary clubs gives us an enormous advantage in the field.

Often, when a disaster strikes, Rotary clubs are our first point of contact. Their local knowledge means they can advise on what has happened, where the worst damage has occurred and exactly what help is needed.

Our Rotary contacts, often senior business figures, can frequently advise on how best to get aid into their country – bypassing bureaucracy that holds up larger organisations.
