💔 Families are beginning to receive urgently needed support.

Working with local partners including Islamic Relief Worldwide Nepal and Rotary International, ShelterBox is providing shelter materials and essential household items for families and communities to take the first step towards safety and recovery.

Damaged roads continue to limit access and the threat of further heavy rain remains.

Thank you to everyone making this response possible. Your support is helping families find shelter, protection and hope when it matters most. 💚

ShelterBox is responding in Nepal. We last responded in Nepal in 2015 after the devastating earthquake and we will draw on that experience, local knowledge and our connections in the area to support displaced families again.

Many of the worst hit regions are remote and hard to reach as roads and bridges have been destroyed. This will be an incredibly challenging response, but with your support and our expertise we can help the most vulnerable families who have lost everything after these terrifying floods. https://shelterbox.org.nz/

And in the best spirit of the friendship of Sir Ed and Tenzing Norgay, we're also people who 'muck in'. Whatever you can do... share this, donate, be in touch about how to organise a fundraiser...

Please join us for an evening, or early morning in NZ, where we’ll be sharing how ShelterBox, working in conjunction with our partner SHiFT, delivered emergency aid items to communities in Lebanon affected by the recent war.

Stay for a live Q&A where you can ask questions to our panel and learn more about our work.

We have two fantastic speakers joining us. Jonty is an Emergency Coordinator with ShelterBox’s Asia and MENA (Middle East and North Africa) team. Over the past three years, he has supported responses in Lebanon, Gaza, Bangladesh, the Philippines, Afghanistan, Myanmar, Pakistan, Morocco, and beyond.

Bilal Al Ayoubi is the President and CEO of SHiFT. Originally from Koura, Lebanon, he has worked as a Team Leader and Chief of Party on several USAID projects across Lebanon, Sudan, Yemen, Iraq, and other countries in the region. Bilal returned to Lebanon in 2025 to focus on SHiFT. He has supported ShelterBox in previous responses in Lebanon in 2013 and 2024. He is also a former Rotaractor, having served in local, national, and international roles for over 12 years.

💔🆘 An incomprehensible 9.7 million people are now in need of humanitarian assistance after the earthquakes in Venezuela.

At least 3,342 lives have been lost and more than 16,000 people injured. Aftershocks continue to shake communities, leaving families terrified to return home.

ShelterBox is working with Cadena and Rotary International members in Venezuela to understand what people need most. From our experience responding to large earthquakes around the world, we know that items like solar lights, blankets, sleeping mats, and shelter kits will be essential.

Please donate today. Your donation – no matter the size – can help families begin to recover. https://lnkd.in/eDgDqU5e
