Shelterbox
Dame Judi Dench doesn't want a Thong for Christmas - but she knows where she'd prefer her present money was invested! Watch the video on this page to find out.
Up until Christmas Day 2024 - every $1 donated to Shelterbox is matched by other committed donors. So your Donation DOUBLES immediately. Now that's great Christmas Spending! Rotary Adelaide Central is putting $1,000 itself today - which will turn into $2,000 overnight!
ShelterBox exists to ensure no one is without shelter after disaster. The team often works in places that others don’t, making sure that Shelterbox Emergency Relief kits reach families who need support to take the next step in resuming their livelihoods.
By providing emergency shelter and tools for families robbed of their homes by disaster, they’re transforming despair into hope.
From Cameroon to Syria, all the way to the Philippines and the Caribbean, ShelterBox has provided shelter to over 2.5 million people so far. The most recent disaster of course being the Earthquake in Vanuatu. We're sure the Shelterbox team are already assessing requirements there as well.
Shelterbox won’t stop until they see a world where no family goes without shelter after disaster, and Rotary Adelaide Central is proud to be a part of the global Rotary family that supports them.
