About us
We provide emergency shelter to people who have lost their home to disaster, enabling them to rebuild their lives.
People are at the heart of ShelterBox.
We recognize that we have a responsibility to make the best decisions for the communities we support by listening to the people we serve. We also have a responsibility to put our values into practice for our staff, volunteers and partners. We will only be able to offer the best possible support for families after disaster if we continue to improve ourselves.
ShelterBox is committed to creating a culture in which equity, diversity and inclusion (EDI) are championed and valued across our international organization and in all of our work.
We recognize the inequalities suffered in the communities we live in and work with. We are not
all equal, particularly in the face of disasters, and we work to understand the vulnerabilities
faced by certain groups so that we can best support the people who need it most.
We strive to break down barriers and work together with our volunteers, donors, partners,
and the communities we serve to create a more just and equitable way of working.
We are committed to creating a diverse and inclusive culture at ShelterBox. We strive to
maintain a work environment where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, and valued
for their difference in background, experience, and perspectives.
We will actively take steps to help everyone succeed. We will work to ensure that people who come in contact with ShelterBox receive equal treatment regardless of age, disability, gender reassignment,
marital or civil partner status, pregnancy or maternity, race, colour, nationality, ethnic or
national origin, religion or belief, sex, or sexual orientation.
We will also endeavour to always think about our work and make decisions through an EDI lens and ensure diverse perspectives are represented.
