Shelter is a human right
Shelter is a basic human right — but right now 113 million people affected by disaster and conflict are left without.
This Human Rights Day — Friday 10th December — join ShelterBox on our mission to deliver emergency shelter and disaster relief to people around the world. Every dollar donated will be doubled by our generous Matchers.
Emergency Disaster Relief
Right now, more than 113 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? Find out more about us.
How we work
Our Impact
Go further for disaster relief
Challenge yourself to do something amazing for families in need by joining one of our 2021 #Trek4Shelter adventures.
This year, our goal is to raise $250,000 across five of our once-in-a-lifetime adventures. This amount is enough to provide 1,000 families with essential shelter aid, including our ShelterKits, solar lights, water filters and mosquito nets — life-changing, life-saving aid that will help disaster-affected communities to begin the slow process of recovery.
