THE SHELTERBOXES:

Each box will normally contain a 10-person tent, plus a selection of other equipment to help an extended family survive for a minimum of six months. The exact contents will depend on local conditions and what is most needed but will generally include blankets, a multi-fuel or a wood-burning stove, cooking equipment, water containers and purification tablets, a basic tool kit and a children’s pack.

Each box is individually numbered and donors where and when their box has been sent via its unique number.

As of February 2008, ShelterBox has provided shelter for over 500,000-plus people in 43 countries. A total of 38,000 boxes have been sent as aid.
