Shelterbox Canada

Emily Boiteau is the Donor Relations Coordinator for ShelterBox Canada and is pictured beside a Shelterbox.

Rotary International has partnered with Shelterbox Canada since 2012 with 50% of funding coming from Rotary. The standard Shelterbox costs $1200 for contents and shipping to disaster areas around the world. Shelterbox Canada has other kits they ship depending on the specific needs of the situation. This could include a school kit for 50 students or a repair kit for people with damaged homes and businesses. Shelterbox Canada sends teams of trained people to help in many different situations where people have been displaced from their homes due to natural disasters and conflicts. Our Rotary Club has purchased Shelterboxes in the past for families in Haiti, Thailand and Syria. For more information, click to visit their website.
