Rotary International have announced a three-year partnership renewal with its disaster relief project partner, ShelterBox. For almost 20 years, this unique humanitarian alliance has supported families with a place to call home after disaster.

What began as a local connection with one Cornish Rotary Club has led to an international movement that’s provided 140,000 ShelterBox family tents or 390,000 ShelterKits worldwide to date.

SYRIA

Over the last 10 days, planes have bombed more towns and villages in Syria, forcing thousands of families to flee unimaginable danger.   

Many civilians have been killed in these latest attacks on hospitals and schools, and over 300,000 people have fled their homes. Some parents and their children are sheltering under trees. They are stuck, driven from their homes but unable to leave the country.

The UN Human Rights chief has said the rising death toll had been met with ‘a collective shrug’.

But we won’t turn away. Working with our trusted partners, we have provided aid to 250,000 people across Syria and its neighbouring countries - but it's not enough. 

With your support, we can help more people.

Syria is not the only country affected by brutal conflict like this. We are responding to conflicts around the world – like the Lake Chad Basin, where thousands are fleeing violence associated with Boko Haram.  

Please, help us to support families in crisis around the world.
