Every year, thousands of families lose their homes, possessions and livelihoods - often without warning, due to natural disaster and conflict.

When these disasters and conflicts rob people of their homes and their livelihoods, we can’t wave a magic wand to replace what was lost. But, we can help – and that is the heart of ShelterBox.

ShelterBox is an international disaster relief organisation that hand-delivers emergency shelter and essential aid items to families who have lost everything.

Driven by our belief that recovery starts with shelter, we provide families with aid items such as tents, water filters, solar lights, thermal blankets, and hygiene kits - enabling them to rebuild homes and transform despair into hope.

Over the past 22 years, our aid has helped 2 million people in 98 countries worldwide.

Aid arrives in Morocco. 31 October 2023

🚚 Our team is on the ground in Morocco, delivering aid and support to 20 rural mountain communities affected by the recent earthquake. These villages are among some of the worst impacted, with thousands of homes damaged or completely destroyed.

As winter approaches and temperatures begin to drop high in the Atlas Mountains, this delivery of this aid is crucial in helping families survive.
