Global Impact in 2024

With your help, across 2024, we supported families enduring the impact of conflicts in regions like the Middle East, including Gaza and Lebanon & in places that did not attract quite the same media coverage …

Our work is more urgent than ever. According to the latest UN data, 120 million people have been forced to flee their homes due to conflicts and extreme weather. This number has tripled since our founding nearly 25 years ago. Many of the crises we respond to are not covered well by the media, and there is little global recognition of the difficulties people face trying to survive. We call these disasters ‘forgotten crises.’

Whilst the urgency of work escalates, and disasters continue to be forgotten, you have been there for those affected communities, with your generosity in donations and time.

Together, we are a global network of 13 offices, and you are part of a movement of dedicated supporters, volunteers, Rotarians and staff worldwide. I want to thank everyone who made our work in 2024 possible. Your impact is clear, as together we continue to act to make a difference to so many lives – providing practical support in times of crisis.

EMERGENCY DISASTER RELIEF

Everyone deserves a place to call home.

Right now, over 100 million people around the world have been rendered homeless by disaster and conflict. We work to change this. By providing emergency shelter, tools, and household supplies to people displaced by disaster or conflict, we enable people and families to to stay together, to rebuild and recover – transforming despair into hope.

 

ShelterBox exists to ensure no one is without shelter after disaster. We often work in places others don’t, making sure we reach families who need support in critical situations. Our work is directed to people in the most precarious of situations, to help them gain some stability and calm and rebuild their lives following disaster or conflict.

Since 2000, from Cameroon to Syria, Ukraine to the Philippines and in our own Pacific home ShelterBox has provided shelter to over 2.5 million people.

Our mission is to work for a world where no one is without shelter after disaster.
