About ShelterBox
In 2000, the idea for ShelterBox was hit upon by the Rotary Club of Helston-Lizard in Cornwall, when Rotary encouraged members to come up with projects to mark the Millennium. In 2012, with Rotary members around the world rallying behind a shared vision, the partnership between ShelterBox and Rotary was formally recognised when ShelterBox became Rotary’s official project partner in disaster relief. ShelterBox has grown to become a respected humanitarian organisation providing emergency shelter, essential items, and support to over 2 million people. And with fundraising teams in 15 countries – all founded by Rotary members.
