ShelterBox provides emergency shelter and vital supplies to support communities overwhelmed by disaster and humanitarian crisis around the world. If there are families in need of emergency shelter, they will do everything they can to help them rebuild their lives in the aftermath of a disaster. Since ShelterBox was founded, they have responded to more than 270 disasters and humanitarian crises in almost 90 different countries. Whatever the emergency, from a new mother fleeing conflict in Kenya to a family that has lost their home following earthquakes in Nepal, they are committed to helping people in their greatest time of need. In fact, ShelterBox aid is tailored to the needs of each emergency. Sometimes they provide ShelterBoxes, which include items such as a disaster relief tent, cooking utensils, mosquito nets and water purification equipment, to people who have lost all of their belongings, while items such as shelter kits, containing heavy-duty tarpaulins and tools, help people to rebuild damaged structures and return to their own homes as soon as possible.
