Mission

Every year, millions of families around the world are made homeless because of humanitarian crises and disasters such as earthquakes, tsunamis, storms, droughts, and floods. ShelterBox is an international, nonprofit organization that responds immediately, by providing humanitarian relief in the form of emergency shelter and supplies that bring hope, independence, and a sense of normalcy to the most vulnerable people. Since 2000, the organization has delivered emergency supplies and other essential household items such as tents, water filters, stoves, blankets, solar lights, and other tools to help families survive and rebuild their homes and lives in the aftermath of more than 300 disasters in over 100 countries worldwide. ShelterBox was nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize in 2018, 2019 and 2025 for our work in conflict zones. Over more than 25 years, ShelterBox has provided life-saving aid to more than 3 million people in more than 100 countries.
