Disaster and conflict has devastated the lives of people around the world. Now, people urgently need life-saving shelter to help them survive the winter. Please help provide protection to families who have lost their homes.
For a family affected by disaster or conflict, receiving shelter and essential household items can be life changing. A tent or shelter repair kit provides protection from the weather and offers privacy that helps people feel secure and allows families to stay together.
Items such as blankets, winter stoves, cooking equipment, and water filters make daily shelter life safer and more manageable. You can give people the chance to begin rebuilding their future.
Your gift of shelter will provide a place where people can be warm and comfortable, so they can start to recover. It all starts with a roof overhead. And it starts with you.
Please donate today and change a family’s future. Thank you.

Why shelter matters
Recovery starts with shelter. Having somewhere safe, dry and warm to sleep, prepare meals and spend time together is often the first step towards rebuilding after disaster.
As winter temperatures fall in some of the communities where ShelterBox works, shelter becomes even more important. It helps protect children and families from the elements while providing privacy, dignity and stability during uncertain times.
For families who have lost their homes, shelter offers much more than a roof overhead. It provides the foundation they need to begin rebuilding their lives.
