ShelterBox Sends Lifesaving Aid When disaster strikes, not
What happens if there’s a disaster and you lose your home? What if you can’t find food or safe water? That’s a scary thought. Yet, every year, children around the world face disasters like floods, hurricanes, earthquakes, and conflict. That’s where ShelterBox comes in!
everyone needs the same thing.
After an earthquake, families might need
strong tents and tool kits to rebuild.
In flooding, families may get water filters and blankets. In conflict zones, aid could include solar lights and cooking sets. Every package is different, but all are designed to help families survive and recover when they’ve lost everything.

What’s in a ShelterBox Aid Package? Do the math problem under each item. If the answer is an even number, that item may be included in a ShelterBox package. Circle it in green. If it’s an odd number, the item is not in the box. Cross it out. ShelterBox aid is tailored to local needs. Sometimes the package is a sturdy tent—a safe space to call home. Other times, it’s a set of tarps, ropes, and tools to help families repair damaged homes. To find out more, visit shelterboxusa.org
