ShelterBox provides emergency shelter and aid — including tents or shelter-building kits, mosquito nets, water filters, solar lights and blankets — to families affected by conflict and disaster. It has sheltered over three million people and works in countries including Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Gaza, Syria, Pakistan, Myanmar, Sudan, Chad and Yemen. Teams are trained to deploy within days of a disaster being declared.
A more concrete, physical gift than most humanitarian options here: you're funding an actual tent or shelter kit plus practical items like water filters and solar lights, not an abstract relief fund. Teams trained to deploy within days of a disaster also means the gap between a crisis hitting and shelter arriving is measured in days, not weeks.
Where the money goes
Tents or shelter-building kits and related aid items such as mosquito nets, water filters and solar lights; around 83p of every £1 given goes to providing emergency shelter.
