When Disaster Strikes, Every Second Counts
We can’t predict disasters, but with your support, we can be ready to respond and provide displaced families with the life-saving aid they need right when they need it most.
When disaster strikes, families lose their homes, possessions and livelihoods.
This year, we have helped hundreds of thousands of people recover after losing their homes to disasters. But our warehouses are now empty, and we need to restock them.
We urgently need support to prepare, respond and restock, so we can keep helping families who have lost everything.
Please donate now to help save lives around the world.
Please note, to be effective as possible we do not accept donations for specific disasters unless specifically stated in an emergency appeal.
Due to high fees for Amex and Discover, we ask that our donors consider using Visa or Mastercard. Thank you!
If you’re having trouble making a donation, please contact us at [email protected] or by calling 647-352-1930.
What your support can do

Kitchen sets to cook a meal
So much family time is spent around food – cooking together, eating together. You can help families feel like normal by providing cooking sets to families.

Blankets warm cold nights
Staying dry and warm is essential for any family. You can provide warmth and comfort for a whole family with waterproof groundsheets and thermal blankets.

Access to safe drinking water
You can provide families with water containers and purification equipment, so that safe drinking water becomes one less thing for families to worry about.

Light a night of darkness
You can provide solar lights that not only illuminate dark and dangerous paths, but they help create safe environments where people can pick up their daily routine.
Every Box Holds a Story
Behula and her family live on a small island on the Brahmaptura river in north-west Bangladesh. Families who live near of on the river know that monsoon rains will cause the river levels will rise, but the heavy rains in 2019 were much worse than expected.
After Behula’s home collapsed during the flooding in 2019, Behula and her family were supported by ShelterBox and the Bangladesh Red Crescent. They received a shelter kit and other essential aid items, almost five months after the floods, Behula was still using the materials provided by ShelterBox.
Knowing they cannot move away from the river, Behula said she will continue to make her home stronger to be prepared for potential flooding in future years.
