ShelterBox Launches Hero Program – August 2016

 

With a new Rotary year comes changes to programs! ShelterBox Canada is pleased to introduce to you the updated ShelterBox Hero program.

 

A ShelterBox Hero is a Rotary Club that has identified the continuing need to prepare for disasters and respond at a moment’s notice. ShelterBox Hero awards are given out based on each club’s annual support of ShelterBox Canada. The purpose of these awards is to thank each club across Canada for their support in ensuring no family goes without shelter. All donations made by the club, fundraising events and individual club members count towards your   

                                                      Hero award total.

 

 

Every ShelterBox Hero will be recognized. Each Hero will be awarded a certificate at their District Conference, digital banner for their website and will receive recognition on the ShelterBox Canada website. If your club wants any more information about the new program changes or wants to see your status for your next conference get in touch by emailing us at support@shelterboxcanada.org

 

 

Since the beginning of the year ShelterBox has assisted in families in ten countries helping over 14,900 households. From families fleeing conflict in Iraq and Syria to families who lost their homes after severe flooding in Paraguay, ShelterBox has been there to help.

 

ShelterBox continues to work with local Rotary and authorities in Sri Lanka to provide ShelterBoxes to families displaced by flooding and landslides. Following the major earthquakes in Ecuador in April, ShelterBox has assisted over 2500 families in Ecuador with Shelter Kits, water filters and other lifesaving equipment. ShelterBox is also responding in Niger, Cameroon, the Syrian region and in Iraq.

 

All of this could not be possible without the continued support of Rotary clubs and individual supporters across the country. Thank you to all those who have supported our mission so far this year.
