About ShelterBox: http://www.shelterboxaustralia.com.au/

ShelterBox responds instantly to natural and manmade disasters by delivering boxes of aid to those who are most in need. Each box supplies an extended family with a tent and essential equipment to use while they are displaced or homeless.

For each $1,000 donated, a ShelterBox aid package will be delivered where needed - this includes all materials, packing, transport and distribution to recipients worldwide and a contribution to stock in readiness for the next disaster we are called to respond to. 

Since 2007 Berowra Rotary has donated the funds for at least 15 ShelterBoxes which have been deployed in the following areas: Chengdu, China;
Myanmar, Burma; Haiti; Philippines; Pakistan; Ethiopia; and Bolivia.                 

ShelterBox began as the brainchild of one Rotarian with the support of his Rotary club in year 2000 – ShelterBox has grown to become the largest Rotary Club project in the 100 year history of the organisation. 

Rotarian support currently contributes an estimated 50% of ShelterBox donations. Around 5,000 rotary clubs worldwide have supported ShelterBox since it was launched.

Each ShelterBox contains up to two 10-person dome tents, thermal blankets, water purification tablets, a multi-fuel stove, tools and other essential equipment.
