The Shelterbox is a survival kit for 10 people and it contains a tent, sleeping bags, water purifying tablets, candles, rope ,shovel. cooking facilities ,tools and childrens toys. The box costs £490.00 

Around 50% of Shelterbox income is in the form of donations from the UK public, the other 50% is raised on our behalf by Rotary Clubs across the UK and worldwide.

Around 90% of all the income goes directly on the boxes and their contents.

A new box has been developed to help schools which are often destroyed in disasters. Shelterbox set up temporary schools for about 40 children between 3 and 9 who have been provided with a bright yellow schoolbag containing paper, pens, colouring pencils, a chalk board, chalk and a geometry set while teachers receive chalk, paper pens, blackboard paint, calculators and a wind-up radio for use in class. The first one opened 3 Dec 2008 in the village of Wam in the North of Pakistan.

The Shelterbox is a project from the Rotary Club of Helston-Lizard and was started as a millennium project in 2000 by Rotarian Tom Henderson. President of the Trust is: HRH The Duchess of Cornwall
