Our Trusted Partner ShelterBox has been on the ground helping communities across the world in all types of disasters such as tsunamis and volcanos or due to conflict.

ShelterBox has been in the region giving emergency aid since the outset of the Venezuela disaster where at least 2000 people are recorded dead, 5000 injured and tens of thousands are believed to be missing from the twin significant tremors on 24 June 2026.

Their immediate response is to carry out needs assessments to quickly learn how to best help communities such as providing emergency aid Shelter Kits, water filters and solar light.

Rotary has supported ShelterBox for more than 25 years as they work to provide humanitarian aid in areas of the world such as Afghanistan, Philippines, Syria, Turkey, Ukraine and Bangladesh.

Many clubs and individuals donate to buy a ShelterBox that comprises of everything needed to gain immediate shelter for a family (see below) thereby gaining speedy protection from the elements.

At present ShelterBox is working in approximately 100 countries where it is estimated that over 100 million people have been driven from their homes due to both natural and made made disasters.

The United Nations have estimated that over 8 million people are requiring humanitarian assistance in Venezuela.
