Be the reason someone smiles this Christmas
When disaster strikes, families lose their homes, possessions, and livelihoods.
Our ShelterKits are filled with essential tools and materials to repair damaged buildings and houses, enabling families to stay together and rebuild their lives.
This Christmas, you can honour someone special in your life, and pay it forward by giving the gift of a fresh start for $150.
Make the world of difference
For many of us, these basic tools many not look like much.
But, for Susan, who lost her home in Vanuatu after Category 5 Cyclone Harold struck the island nation in April 2020, they made the world of difference:
When the toolkits came, we shared them with families, they went and rebuilt their kitchens and houses. They were so happy.
