Coronavirus Appeal
Please help save lives and donate today
The spread of the virus is speeding up globally. Help us provide shelter kits, hand soap and vital aid.
Emergency Disaster Relief
Right now, more than 104 million people around the world have been made homeless by natural disaster and conflict. We’re working to change this.
By providing emergency shelter and tools for families robbed of their homes by disaster, we’re transforming despair into hope.
We want to see a world where no family is left without shelter after disaster. Find out more about us.
How we work
Our impact
Hurricane season is here
2020 has been a year like no other. Whilst coronavirus gets a hold of the world but is yet to reach its global peak, an extremely active hurricane season is ongoing.
In the midst of a record-breaking Atlantic hurricane season, we’ve already used every hurricane name available for the year.
Now, resorting to the Greek alphabet for new names, meteorologists wonder: will this pattern repeat as oceans continue to warm?
Read our blog article to find out more about the 2020 Atlantic hurricane season and how we’re preparing here at ShelterBox.

RECOVERY STARTS WITH SHELTER
Our vision is to see a world where no family is without shelter after disaster.
Our teams work with disaster-hit families around the world, offering emergency shelter and other essential items to support them in rebuilding their lives.
Every disaster is different and so is every community, so we spend time with those affected to make sure we can offer the right support at the right time to help them recover.
Our response teams can travel by boat, helicopter or tuk-tuk to get to the families who need your support – whatever it takes to get to the people who have lost their homes to disaster.
