You are here: Emergency Disaster Relief - ShelterBox

Emergency disaster relief

Right now, around 85 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 are impatient to see a world where no family is left without shelter. Are you?

Deadly Volcano Eruption in Guatemala

Guatemala fuego volcano eruption

Guatemala has been left reeling by the most violent volcanic eruption since 1974.

The Fuego volcano has spewed lava, ash, rocks and deadly hot gas onto hillside villages, killing over 100 people. More than 12,000 people have been forced to flee their homes, whilst the entire community of El Rodeo is said to be buried.

We have a team in Guatemala to understand how we can help the families who have lost everything. We are speaking to families in the evacuation centres, and working with local authorities, partners and Rotary contacts to understand how we can help.
