LIVE UPDATE ON SHELTERBOX COVID-19 RESPONSE We hope you can join us tomorrow for a live briefing with Kerri Murray, President of ShelterBox USA, and special guest Sanj Srikanthan, CEO of ShelterBox. Wednesday, September 9th
9 AM PT/ 12 PM ET Kerri and Sanj will be discussing the extraordinary challenges that the COVID-19 pandemic is having on families displaced by natural disasters and conflict situations and for the organizations endeavoring to help them. You'll also receive updates on our current operational priorities, deployments and how we continue to adapt to meet the changing needs during the pandemic. SPOTLIGHT FROM THE FIELD: A NEW BEGINNING This is Fanne, a 30-year-old mother of eight children, who is now living in Minawao Refugee Camp in Cameroon. After violent extremist attacks by Boko Haram forced Fanne to leave behind her husband and home in Nigeria, she and her children arrived at the refugee camp with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They were taken to a crowded collective center at the camp where they lived for three months. Fanne shared, "This is an indescribable feeling; you can’t imagine or understand unless it happens to you." Because of your generosity, in June 2020 ShelterBox provided Fanne with a tent and essential household items to rebuild their lives. They have since moved out of the collective center into a new home and life has improved. With her new shelter she can keep her family safe at home. “I collected a tent, blankets, solar lamps, bucket, water carriers and much more. The other items helped me a lot in keeping water, covering the children, and lighting the house at night.” Despite the coronavirus pandemic, we're working hard with our partners to make sure that vulnerable families receive the support they need to rebuild their homes and protect themselves from coronavirus. |
