Give a gift that keeps giving

A new way to honour someone special in your life this Christmas and support a family in need of emergency shelter aid at the same time.

It’s time to skip conventional gift-giving and give your friends, family, and loved ones a gift with an impact!

Every year, thousands of displaced families go without reliable shelter, warm clothes, and shared meals.

Whether you give water or warmth, home or hope, every gift in this shop will help transform lives by providing emergency aid to families worldwide who have been displaced by disaster or conflict.

A ShelterBox gift today will empower families to recover and rebuild tomorrow and beyond.

Virtual ShelterBox Gifts

Give the gift of shelter and help us help families rebuild after disaster or conflict. Hand written cards are an option for all virtual gifts. Please let us know if you would like this option when you checkout.

Give the gift of light


Donate the cost of a solar light to provide comfort and allow families to regain their livelihoods.

Our solar lights are lightweight and waterproof, making them easy to carry in any situation. Importantly, because they are so safe, cheap and easy to use, families use solar lights in different ways – for work, education, family activities, or simply moving around at night.

Give safe drinking water


When disasters devastate the landscape and force families far from home, it can be hard to access safe, clean water.

By donating $50, you can provide a household with water containers and purification equipment, so safe drinking water becomes one less thing to worry about.

Give the gift of rebuilding

Give the gift of emergency shelter


When disaster strikes, families need shelter to feel safe again. When they can’t start rebuilding their homes immediately, durable tents can make them feel safe and protected. $500 is what they cost.

Depending on the weather and the place, the shelter needs of families differ. That’s why we’re committed to providing families with the best possible solutions that suit their needs.
