Notas do Editor
ShelterBox is a cutting-edge charity that hand-delivers emergency shelter for families devastated by natural disasters and conflict, giving them safe shelter and the tools to rebuild communities.
We are impatient to see a world where no family is left without shelter when disaster strikes
This is the number of people around the world that have been made homeless by natural disaster and conflict – more than any other time since World War Two.
Climate changes will lead to changes in frequency, intensity and duration of extreme weather events, meaning that vulnerable communities will be hit more often by an extreme event, and for longer (IPCC, 2014)
To date the number of families we have helped to rebuild their lives after disaster
The number of people we aim to help, each year, by 2025
Rotary has supported ShelterBox from the start, when a local club championed the simple idea to package up essential shelter items in our now iconic ShelterBoxes. As ShelterBox has grown, so has Rotary support, and we are now international project partners in disaster relief. Rotary clubs are a vital part of ShelterBox, supporting field operations in nearly 90% of deployments, spreading the word of ShelterBox and organising creative fundraising activities.
During deployments Rotarians are able to give us first-hand knowledge of many of the countries in which we respond, logistical and operational assistance and vital links into communities.
ShelterBox have only been able to support 240,000 families recover after disaster struck, with the amazing support of Rotary.
We are famous for the green box, but we know that every disaster is different, therefore each requires a different response. We provide a range of different aid, to ensure we are helping families with what they actually need to recover.
We have a range of different tents and our standard relief tent is on its 8th version.
We test and evaluate all of the aid that we provide by talking to, and learning from the families who use it, because we know that the families who use it are the real experts. This fuels us to be innovative and to continue to evolve.

It can’t simply be about inputs. This theory is now ingrained in all of the work that we do. It pushes us to carry out assessments, think about the ongoing recovery process and carry out evaluations to ensure we continue to learn and improve.
We have had to adapt the way we work. Today we are working more and more with partners. This enables us to reach more families in need of shelter, share expertise and pool resources.

Pre-positioning
We don’t just respond to high profile disasters.
In 2016, there were only 5 days when we didn’t have a team out, but even in those 5 days we were still active in ongoing operations through our partners.
We are active 365 days a year.
This is where we are working today
We are also currently monitoring the situation in…
Intro each panel member
What made you become response teams
How was selection and training process
Ongoing learning and development – impact on day to day life
Challenges/ sacrifices had to/ have to make to be able to respond
Considerations had to take into account – e.g. culture/ language etc
Key take aways – e.g. resilience etc
That ‘one thing/ one person/ family/ that memory that sticks with you
Great examples of working with Rotary locally/ globally
One call to action

We would love to talk to you more about our work, come and speak to us…
