eachyearProject
Since its inception in 2000, ShelterBox has aided more than one million survivors in over 70 countries. As
ShelterBox can never predict when or where disaster will strike, we have deployed pre-packed boxes in strategic locations aroundthe globe, and we keep a large stock of equipment in our warehouse in the United Kingdom. We track each box so that our donors can follow exactly when and where their contributions are spent.
The
ShelterBox kit is unique and does not duplicate aid provided by other disaster relief organizations. We often partner with established relief entities to provide enhanced services.ShelterBox USA
was started in 2002 by the Rotary Club of Lakewood Ranch, Florida. Since then, the USA affiliate has received support from thousands of Rotary clubs in the United States.WHAT’S IN A BOX
