Funds for ShelterBox in response to the floods in Nepal

Rotary Guernesiais has supported ShelterBox many times over the years (most recently donating two ShelterBoxes in response to the tragic floods in Nepal).

ShelterBox provides curated emergency shelter and essential household items after disaster. There’s no one size fits all solution. Each disaster and community is different. So, they work flexibly, listening to what’s needed and adapting every time.  

For some situations, family-sized tents are the best solution. They provide shelter until people can start rebuilding. In other places, heavy duty tarpaulins, ropes and nails can patch-up damaged buildings. Essential items like water filters, mosquito nets, and cooking sets help people survive. 

The ShelterBox teams also offer training on shelter building. This supports people to create robust shelters and maintain them over time. Trained people can then pass on their knowledge on to their community too. 

Your donation will enable ShelterBox to replace valuable items as they are deployed in response to disasters. All funds raised this this appeal will be passed directly onto ShelterBox.
