Providing shelter after disaster looks different for every family.

There is no one-size-fits-all approach, which is why we listen to the communities we work with and tailor our support to their needs.

As humanitarian challenges continue to evolve, so do we, adapting and developing new shelter solutions to help people recover and rebuild 💚

Home is more than just a house. It's a lifetime of memories, family and belonging.

For 75 years, Shyam Lal Shrestha has lived in the same village in Nepal.

When flash floods swept through his community, he had only moments to act.

"Everything happened so quickly. We had very little time to think or collect our belongings. Our main priority was simply to get ourselves and our animals to a safe place."

Now staying with neighbours, Shyam faces an uncertain future. But after spending his entire life in this village, he can't imagine calling anywhere else home.

ShelterBox is working with Islamic Relief Nepal and Rotary in Nepal (Rotary International) to provide emergency shelter and essential aid to families affected by the floods, including tarpaulins, family tents, solar lights and other household essentials.

"We have lost our sense of security, but I have nowhere else to go. I only hope that somehow we can rebuild our lives here and continue living in the place we have called home for 75 years." 💚

After the devastating double earthquake that struck Venezuela on 24 June, thousands of people were left without a safe place to stay. ShelterBox and Rotary are working together to help families rebuild.

In the early stages of the response, ShelterBox, Rotary and the IOM - UN Migration provided emergency shelter and essential aid, including tents, solar lights and mosquito nets, for displaced families living on temporary sites.

Now, the focus is on longer-term recovery. Together with Rotary in Venezuela, we're constructing around 650 transitional shelters using locally sourced building materials alongside tarpaulins and tools from ShelterBox's pre-positioned stock, helping families move beyond emergency shelter and begin rebuilding their lives.

As District Governor Yupnexa Rojas said:

"The strategic alliance between Rotary and ShelterBox in Venezuela has restored hope following the devastating double earthquake on 24 June. Through the creation of Rotary villages, they are providing secure shelter to more than 600 families who lost everything."

But this project is about more than shelter. Through community activities inspired by Rotary's Areas of Focus, it is helping to strengthen health, education, peacebuilding and local economic development, supporting communities as they recover and rebuild together.

Overall, the project is expected to reach around 1,100 households, helping families regain a sense of normality and the foundation they need to move forward.

Thank you to Rotary members in Venezuela and around the world for helping families in Venezuela rebuild their homes, their communities and their futures.

A safe home is the foundation of a child's mental wellbeing. But for the more than 45 million children displaced by conflict and violence around the world, that foundation has been taken away.

It's where children play, learn, sleep, and feel safe. It's where they build confidence, form relationships, and make sense of the world around them.

Fear, uncertainty and homelessness can have a lasting impact on a child's mental health, development and wellbeing.

Research shows that when children don't feel safe or secure, they may struggle with sleep, communication, learning and emotional regulation. The effects can be felt long into the future.

That's why shelter matters.

By helping families create a safe, stable place to call home after disaster or conflict, we're providing more than physical protection. We're helping parents rebuild routines, support their children, and create the conditions they need to recover, grow and thrive.

This Mental Health Awareness Week, we're recognising the vital role a safe home plays in protecting mental wellbeing and giving children the foundation they need for a brighter future 💚

In the wake of devastating flash floods in Nepal, more than 85,000 people are facing the difficult reality of life after disaster.

ShelterBox is working with local partners to provide emergency shelter and essential aid. Alongside Islamic Relief Nepal, Rotary International in Nepal and People in Need, we've already distributed tarpaulins, sleeping mats, ropes and pillows to hundreds of households, supporting around 1,000 families.

Family tents, solar lights, thermal blankets and winterisation kits have also reached Nepal. With roads damaged and bridges collapsed, helicopters are helping deliver aid to isolated communities.

This support is helping families create safer places to sleep, stay protected from the elements and prepare for the colder months ahead.

It started with a little idea... what if reading could help change lives?

Eight years later, we're celebrating an incredible milestone. The ShelterBox Book Club has raised £2 million for families affected by disaster and conflict around the world.

What began with a book through the post, a donation to ShelterBox, and a community of readers coming together to share their thoughts has grown into something truly extraordinary.

Since then, more than 10,000 people have read over 160,000 books, discovered stories from 67 countries around the world, and raised an incredible £2 million!

Together, our readers have turned a love of reading into shelter, safety and hope for thousands of families. To put it into context, £2 million could fund around 5,000 family tents, 68,965 shelter toolkits or 100,000 kitchen sets.

We'd also like to thank the staff and volunteers who have helped grow the Book Club over the last eight years. From choosing books and attending events to supporting members, organising discussions and working with authors, their dedication has helped make the Book Club the incredible community it is today.

To every author who has joined a Q&A, shared their experiences and helped bring stories to life for our readers, thank you. Your books have inspired conversations, challenged perspectives and helped make this milestone possible.

And to our readers, this achievement belongs to you. Every membership, gift, vote and recommendation has helped turn a love of reading into life-changing support for families around the world.

Here's to the next chapter 💚📖
