WE REBUILD COMMUNITIES


We deliver the essential aid people need to begin rebuilding their lives in the aftermath of a disaster.

All disasters are different, and so is every community. We don’t believe that one size fits all, so we make considered assessments to provide the exact support that each family needs.

The aid we supply comes in the form of ShelterBoxes and ShelterKits. Our sturdy green ShelterBoxes contain family-sized tents specially designed to withstand the elements and provide people with a temporary refuge until they are able to start rebuilding their homes. Our ShelterKits contain all of the essential tools needed to start the repair or rebuilding process.

That’s not all. We know that a home is much more than bricks and mortar or tarps and tent pegs. Our kits and boxes contain the items that help transform shelter into a home, like cooking sets, solar lights and activity sets for children.

We test all of the aid and shelters we provide. We talk to the families who use them in the field to evaluate how they performed. We are constantly innovating to deliver quality aid that lasts.

Creating a home is a process that takes time and we support families to continue on that journey.”
