About us
Every year thousands of communities, often with no warning, lose their homes, their possessions and their livelihoods. Every day they are faced with a battle for survival.
We provide emergency shelter and vital supplies to support communities around the world overwhelmed by disaster and humanitarian crisis.
Since we began in 2000, we have responded to earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, landslides, typhoons and conflict, delivering emergency humanitarian aid to communities in need.
The 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, the 2010 Haiti earthquake, the Syria crisis, and the biggest storm to ever make landfall – Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines; we have responded to some of the largest humanitarian crises the modern world has ever known. Alongside this, we have also helped many thousands of people displaced by disasters that are not featured in the media. Simply put, if there are families in need of emergency shelter, we will do everything we can to help them.
Our vision
A world in which all people displaced by disasters and humanitarian crises are rapidly provided with emergency shelter and vital aid, which will help rebuild their communities and lives.
Our mission
To rapidly provide emergency shelter and vital aid to stabilise, protect and support communities overwhelmed by disaster and humanitarian crisis.

Rebecca C. asked:I'm sure Nepal is close to many members' hearts so I thought I'd open a post which people could suggest charities, big and small, and charity events which could help earthquake victims. I know there are issues with the Nepal government and problems with aid getting through but by donating to experienced aid agencies who are experts in disaster relief and charities which have established links in Nepal there is the best chance of aid getting to the people who need it. The scale of the disaster is huge so please continue to donate when you can.Stewart S. replied:http://www.shelterbox.org/
