ShelterBox
Operating since 2000, ShelterBox is an extraordinary Rotary-partnered program that provides emergency temporary shelters for families around the world struck by natural disasters and humanitarian crises. Shelter Boxes have been used for the Syrian refugee crisis, for victims of Hurricane Katrina in New Orleans, and for the displaced after the earthquakes of Nepal.
