What a fantastic live/hybrid club meeting on Thursday morning, February 8, 2024, as we heard via Zoom from Kenya from our “People of Action” team at the Kivutini School in Machakos. We were treated to songs and dances by the school students and able to view all of the work done on refurbishing the school through our District 7470 Grant and the additional projects by our team in conjunction with the Rotary Club of Machakos.

Thank you to the members who have volunteered for this project.
ShelterBox is working to deliver vital emergency shelter and household items to thousands of individuals in Gaza who have been displaced from their homes.
ShelterBox is committed to responding to the humanitarian needs of those impacted by conflict. Currently, the urgent need is in Gaza, where up to 1.9 million people have been displaced and are forced to seek refuge in community facilities such as schools, makeshift shelters, or exposed areas. Within these makeshift displacement centers, overcrowding is severe, diseases are spreading, and individuals lack necessary protection from harsh weather conditions.
Responding in Gaza will be challenging; however, ShelterBox has extensive experience working in complex crises and getting aid to severely affected areas.
Essential items such as tarps and rope will aid in repairing damaged structures and waterproofing shelters. Blankets, mattresses, pillows, and ground mats will provide warmth and comfort. Additionally, we will be supplying hygiene kits containing essentials such as diapers, toothbrushes, and sanitary items, along with water carriers and kitchen sets to support basic needs.
In 2024, ShelterBox is committed to numerous responses, including ongoing support for communities in Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Ethiopia, Mozambique, the Philippines, Somalia, Syria, Ukraine, and beyond.
ShelterBox has initiated an urgent fundraising campaign to address the pressing needs in Gaza and other crisis-stricken areas globally.
Your contribution is crucial in enabling us to swiftly deliver emergency shelter and vital supplies to those displaced in Gaza and beyond. Your support today will directly impact those most in need, ensuring essential aid reaches them promptly.
