Rotary and ShelterBox have worked together for more than 20 years, offering aid worldwide to thousands of families that have been devastated by disaster and conflict.
Founded in 2000 by a Rotary member in the United Kingdom, ShelterBox provides emergency shelter and essential supplies to help communities through their toughest times.
Every disaster is different, and every community is different. ShelterBox doesn’t believe that one set of solutions works in all situations, so its team members spend time talking with affected families to make sure it can help them in the right way. By putting families first, ShelterBox provides the support families need to transform their own lives.
Partners in aid
ShelterBox and Rotary officially became project partners in disaster relief in 2012. This partnership is instrumental to Rotary’s disaster response strategy. One of the most important elements of the relationship is the opportunity for Rotary members to serve countries affected by disasters. Members can also take action by connecting their own communities with disaster-affected communities worldwide. By working together, we’re able to combine resources to support areas immediately after a disaster and make a start on long-term
