Annual Reports

In 2022, extreme weather events and the crisis in Ukraine created significant need for emergency shelter support across the world.

Thanks to your incredible support and the help of our partners worldwide, we provided shelter to over 400,000 people.

We can’t replace what is lost, but emergency shelter can give families some sense of normality – it is a place to call home, the space to begin to recover.

We put families first. We are focused. We go further. We are global. We are ShelterBox.

Your impact in 2022


In the Philippines we supported 100,000 people after Super Typhoon Rai devastated whole communities.

When the war started in Ukraine in February, we helped people fleeing to Moldova, as well as people staying in collective centres and in damaged homes in Ukraine.

We also worked on projects in Yemen, Pakistan, Mozambique, Syria, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Burkina Faso and Nigeria. We couldn’t have done it without you – our amazing supporters.
