PREPOSITIONED AID SAVES LVIES


When disasters strike without warning, access to shelter can mean the difference between life and death.

Having emergency aid prepositioned in warehouses around the world allows us to reach people in need faster and more efficiently.

In the past year, ShelterBox supported over 325,000 people in 14 countries. With prepositioned aid, we swiftly responded to crises in Morocco, Malawi, Ukraine, Gaza, and beyond. Now, we need your help to restock our global warehouses.

In 2023, ShelterBox in partnership with the local Rotary of Morocco, responded to the 6.8 magnitude earthquake that damaged around 50,000 homes, supporting thousands of people in the Atlas Mountains. We supplied tents, thermal blankets and kitchen sets. Watch the video above to see Mohamed share his story of personal tragedy and community leadership after the earthquake.

We need your help to restock our global warehouses. Your donation of essential aid items enables us to continue supporting people who are facing unimaginable challenges, like Mohammed.

PREPOSITIONED AID IN ACTION


 

In September 2023, a devastating earthquake in Morocco left nearly 3,000 people dead, thousands more injured, and damaged some 50,000 homes. Many of those homes were in remote mountain villages—with winter fast approaching.

Thanks to your generous support, ShelterBox responded swiftly. In partnership with Rotary International and drawing from aid prepositioned in our Dubai warehouse, we provided tents, solar lights, cook sets, and thermal blankets to 20 villages, including Mohamed’s.

MOHAMED'S STORY


______

Mohamed’s village was all but leveled by the devastating earthquake. Tragically, he lost his son, wife, and many loved ones. Despite his grief, Mohamed, a devoted community leader, took on the responsibility of not only rebuilding his life but also helping everyone in his community rebuild theirs.

I thought, what is going to happen to us? Not just me but the women, children, and older people. How will they survive without houses and shelter?”

For these communities, having shelter was crucial. It protected them from the harsh winter weather and allowed them to stay together as they rebuilt their lives.

Now, we need your help to restock our warehouses so we can provide more communities like Mohamed’s with life-saving aid when the next disaster strikes.
