ShelterBox is a global disaster relief organisation that focuses on delivering emergency shelter and essential tools to families impacted by natural disasters and conflicts. They operate globally with active operations in Morocco, Somalia, Chad, Ukraine and Gaza.
By providing their pre-packed ShelterBoxes to dislocated families, ShelterBox are able to deploy and install rapidly. Essential box contents include a tent, tools, water purification equipment. Beyond immediate shelter, ShelterBox also engage with local communities and pre-existing development groups to provide tools and guidance to help families rebuild their homes and livelihoods. One of the key considerations includes material availability for providing more secure accommodation.
ShelterBox is funded by individuals donates, corporate partnerships and government grants. The organisation also does well to harness the power of volunteers to help with a range of functions from online media to frontline operations in disaster locations.
