🚨 Nepal floods response update
A ShelterBox team is in Kathmandu, working alongside Rotary and local organizations to understand the impact of the devastating flash floods and what families need most.
Thousands of people have lost their homes, belongings and livelihoods. Damage to roads and bridges is making it difficult to reach some of the hardest-hit communities.
Our team is assessing needs and exploring how we can support both immediate relief and longer-term recovery. This could include emergency shelter and essential aid such as tents, tarpaulins, blankets, sleeping mats and solar lights.
Your support can help provide life-saving shelter and essential aid to families affected by the floods in Nepal.

⚠️ A ShelterBox team has arrived in Nepal and is assessing the situation after catastrophic flash floods devastated communities.
A powerful surge of water, mud, ice and debris washed away homes, roads and bridges, leaving communities cut off and families without safe shelter.

More than 1,000 people have died, over 4,200 are missing, and an estimated 65,000 people have been affected.

Our team is meeting with Rotary International members and other humanitarian organizations to understand the most urgent needs and how we can best support affected communities.

We are also speaking with potential partners and considering essential aid items like blankets, sleeping mats, tarps, and rope.
As assessments continue, we'll keep you updated on how ShelterBox can help.

Thank you for your generosity so far. Please, if you can, donate today to help families in Nepal. 💚👉

More than 15 years after the conflict in Syria began, millions of people are still displaced or living in damaged homes.

Renewed violence, extreme weather and the lasting impact of the 2023 earthquakes continue to make life difficult for families across the country. Today, 15.6 million people still need humanitarian assistance.

ShelterBox has been supporting people affected by the crisis since 2012. Working alongside our partner Bahar, we’ve helped more than 450,000 people with emergency shelter, winter essentials, home repairs and other vital aid.

Recently, our team traveled to Syria to assess current needs and plan the next phase of our response in the north-east. As the crisis continues, so does our commitment to helping families access shelter, repair their homes and begin rebuilding.

Behind every humanitarian response are people who know their communities, understand what families are facing and work tirelessly to make sure support reaches those who need it. đź’š

This World Humanitarian Day, we want you to meet some of those people.

The Juba Foundation is our Somali-led partner and has been supporting communities affected by conflict, displacement and the climate crisis for more than 20 years. Their local knowledge and experience are at the heart of our work together in Somalia.

We recently asked members of their team to share what motivates them, what they want people to understand about their work and their hopes for the future.

Watch their stories, then learn more about the people and partnership behind our response: https://shelterboxusa.org/blog/whd-juba-foundation/

Philippines Earthquake Response Update

2,000 families who suffered the total loss of their homes in the devastating Mindanao earthquake have now received emergency shelter support and essential aid.

Working with our partners IRDT and (Rotary Club of Metro Dadiangas), we’ve distributed shelter kits, tarpaulins, blankets, solar lamps, kitchen sets and cash assistance to help families begin rebuilding.

As ongoing aftershocks and heavy rainfall continue to worsen conditions and increase shelter needs, our response has been extended to support a further 300 households in Jose Abad Santos municipality, where there are limited shelter actors.

Distributions are expected to be completed this week.

Together with , and , we’ve also delivered 1,500 solar lamps to families affected by the earthquake, providing immediate support while our shelter package was being finalized.

11 amazing ShelterBox supporters just returned from a 4-day trek through Yosemite. They swam in lakes, dunked in rivers, summited mountains, shared stories, and learned about ShelterBox around the campsite, nestled amidst towering trees. Collectively, this Adventurer Trek raised over $20K for ShelterBox’s work across the globe.

If you are interested in joining a future Adventurer Trek or creating your own Adventurer Challenge, please reach out in the comments!
