KIA ORA!… WELCOME TO SHELTERBOX NZ
Right now, around 85 million people around the world have been made homeless by natural disaster and conflict. ShelterBox is working to change this.
By providing emergency shelter and tools for families robbed of their homes by disaster, we’re transforming despair into hope.
We want to see a world where no family is left without shelter after disaster. Find out more about us.

INNOVATION HELPS FAMILIES SURVIVE
Disaster can rob families of everything. But with the right materials at the right time, families find ingenious ways to rebuild their lives.
Take Margaretha, who turned her ShelterBox into a crib for her newborn baby. Or Rahma, who is using her solar lights to further her education.
From harvest tools to sledges, storage boxes to lion scarers, we’ve lost count of the number of inventive ways families are using our aid.
See how you can help to provide the equipment that gives families a lifeline.
14-year-old Rahma from Somaliland uses her solar light to study in the evening when it gets dark. Her favourite subject is English.

Who We Are
About us
ShelterBox is made up of people who believe in shelter as a human right – that shelter from the chaos of disaster and conflict is vital. No ifs. No buts. We provide the tools that enable people to rebuild homes and transform their lives.
Building peace
Every minute, more families – just like yours – lose everything in the chaos of conflict. Their homes, their livelihoods, and even family members are brutally snatched away.
Take a look at how we’re helping to build peace, one family at a time here.
