WE’VE STARTED SOMETHING

2016

marked the beginning of an ambitious 10-year strategy to scale the organization and bring lifesaving shelter to more families than ever before in our history. The year was punctuated by the extraordinary need for the work of ShelterBox – with 85 million people around the world now homeless because of natural disaster or conflict, there are more people displaced globally than after World War II.

To realize this earnest vision, we’ve developed comprehensive plans to scale our operations.

Over the past year, and continuing in the years ahead, we will add human resources in operations, logistics and supply chain management, and we’ll make strategic investments to increase awareness and mobilize more essential resources. To get there we’re employing key strategies to maximize our impact.

A large driver in the ever-increasing need for shelter has been conflict. Delivering relief to vulnerable families fleeing the war in Syria has continued to be a major focus of the work of ShelterBox. In addition to providing aid to more than 10,000 families seeking refuge from violence in Syria this past year, ShelterBox launched large-scale disaster responses to Cyclone Winston in Fiji, the earthquake in Ecuador, Hurricane Matthew in Haiti, landslides in Sri Lanka, and more.

We’re expanding our partnerships and volunteer networks.

With your generous support in 2016, we far surpassed the goals we set forth by providing shelter to more than 29,000 families devastated by disaster or conflict. But with millions more left homeless each year, we know the need for the work of ShelterBox continues to grow. This is why we’ve set out on an enthusiastic path to grow our ability to serve more families and provide shelter to one million people each year by 2025.

In 2016, we renewed our three-year project partnership with Rotary International. ShelterBox remains Rotary’s only project partner in disaster response. We will continue to grow and leverage our vast global volunteer networks, including our ShelterBox Response Team (SRT), Ambassadors, and Rotary Liaisons. Our partners and volunteers have allowed us to scale our operations in ways that would have otherwise been unachievable over these past 17 years.

We’re measuring the impact of our work.

We are committed to not just financial transparency, but also to demonstrating our impact on the people and communities to which we hand-deliver aid. By developing a Theory of Change in 2016, we’ve identified the intended short, medium, and long-term outcomes of

TRANSFORMATIVE AT SHELTERBOX. our work, and mapped out the activities and resources needed to achieve our goals. We’re undertaking the monitoring and evaluation needed to help us learn, adapt, and evolve to ensure we’re as efficient and effective as possible.

We’re evolving our aid.

Each disaster is different, and so is every community. We continue to make assessments to provide the shelter materials and supplies that are most appropriate and best-suited to the needs of recipients. While shelter aid often comes in the form of our iconic green ShelterBoxes, or our ShelterKits, increasingly the contents may differ depending on the disaster, location, and the unique needs of each community. We’ve been applying a flexible approach to tailor our aid to each disaster or conflict to ensure efficiency and effectiveness.

Although we continue to transform our organization to reach many more people in need, we won’t be able to do so without the support of you — our partners and friends. Our ability to provide critically needed shelter supplies to one million people each year is only made possible by the charitable backing upon which we entirely rely.

When we deploy to the frontlines of disaster and crisis, undoubtedly the hardest part of our job at ShelterBox is not having enough aid and having to say no to a family in need of shelter. There is no

shortage of need for the work of ShelterBox and we’ve developed a unique expertise and capability to serve families on their worst day ever. More than ever before in our history, it is crucial that we grow our capacity to help more people. We are working tirelessly to see a world where no family is left without shelter after disaster.

That is our mission.

I hope that you’ll continue your support of ShelterBox as we embark upon this pivotal chapter in the organization’s history. We are determined to transform your generosity into hope for families all over the world – the hope and tools needed to rebuild homes, lives, and communities, and begin again.

Thank you for being a part of ShelterBox. With gratitude,

Kerri Murray

ach disaster is different, and so is every community. Therefore, ShelterBox relies on its highly trained volunteer response teams and its on-the-ground partners to identify the most pressing and immediate needs of communities in the aftermath of disaster or during conflict.

ShelterBox then tailors the aid it provides to meet the specific needs of survivors and their communities, ensuring that only what is needed most is delivered.

S HE L T E RB O X US A | ANNUA L REPORT 2 0 1 6

ShelterBox aid most commonly comes in the form of ShelterBoxes and ShelterKits.

Sturdy green ShelterBoxes typically contain family-sized tents specifically designed to withstand the elements and provide people with temporary shelter until they can start the process of rebuilding a home. Customized ShelterKits contain all the essential materials and tools families need to start repairing and rebuilding homes right away, including items such as tarpaulins, hammers, nails and rope.

Because a home means much more than bricks and mortar, or tarpaulin and tent pegs, ShelterBoxes and ShelterKits often contain the items that help transform shelter into a home, such as cooking sets, solar lights, thermal blankets, and activity sets for children. The need for classroom supplies and educational materials is often unmet following disaster or conflict.

In certain circumstances, ShelterBox SchoolBoxes containing classroom supplies for 50 children are sometimes included in aid shipments.

C

yclone Winston was the strongest storm ever recorded to make landfall in the Southern Hemisphere. It slammed into the island nation of Fiji on February 20, 2016, bringing Category 5 winds and causing widespread destruction. The superstorm left an estimated 120,000 people without shelter and roughly forty percent of Fiji’s population was affected by the storm.

In the immediate aftermath, a ShelterBox Response Team deployed to the region to assess shelter needs and identify the most vulnerable communities.

Fiji is comprised of more than 320 islands, many of which are inhabited but are largely inaccessible, often making it difficult to reach communities and provide aid.

To overcome these challenges, ShelterBox partnered with Sea Mercy, a charity that provides volunteer fleets of vessels and yachts stationed in the South Pacific. The vessels transported ShelterBox Response Team members island to island to conduct assessments and deliver emergency aid to the affected communities. Local Rotary Clubs were also instrumental in response efforts.

Ultimately, ShelterBox was able to provide 1,505 families with shelter. This aid included tents, water purification units, ground sheets, mosquito nets, tools, and other essential supplies in the form of 442 ShelterBoxes and 500 ShelterKits.

When ShelterBox Response Teams reached Ovalau, they found massive trees on their sides, stripped clean of leaves and branches, and tattered belongings lay scattered among the rubble. Families left homeless by the storm sheltered in a community center on the island.

As they waited for the storm to pass, they saw roofs ripped apart and homes reduced to

“

their foundations. Then a storm surge hit so hard that even the community center was no longer safe. As water came rushing in up to people’s chests, families had to hold their children up in the air just to keep them safe.

Mother Diane was terrified.

ShelterBox was able provide Diane and her family with a ShelterBox, containing a tent and the shelter supplies needed to make it feel like home, including blankets, ground sheets, and cooking utensils. For Diane, a ShelterBox meant relief: “I’m so happy to have a tent – to have a safe place of our own to sleep.”

urricane Matthew led to the greatest humanitarian crisis in Haiti since the 2010 earthquake, with 2.1 million people impacted by damaged infrastructure. ShelterBox immediately deployed a response team to Haiti in the aftermath of the hurricane’s landfall. The team assessed damages and coordinated efforts to reach the hardest hit and most vulnerable communities.

SHE L T E R F R OM THE S TO R M

M A R C EL’ S STORY

M

arcel is an elderly man in his seventies who is completely blind.

He used to be a mason until he lost his sight. He lives in a small one-room house with five others, including four children.

When Hurricane Matthew hit, his house was flooded with two feet of water and all his possessions were gone or destroyed.

His family gathered what corrugated iron they could find from other houses that had blown into their area for a makeshift roof. When they received a ShelterKit they were able to rebuild and make their roof watertight. He said: “It is nice to think that when a disaster strikes other people far away think of them.”

“

Having provided roughly one-third of all emergency shelter to Haiti following the 2010 earthquake, ShelterBox is no stranger to the shipment and distribution challenges posed by Haiti’s fragile infrastructure. Working in coordination with government authorities, it was identified that ShelterBoxes were not the most appropriate form of aid that could be provided. In response, customized ShelterKits containing tarpaulins, plastic sheeting, and basic tools that enabled families to rapidly provide their own shelter, or make repairs to their damaged houses, were assembled and distributed.

In the days following the storm, many families were able to construct temporary shelters or crudely repair existing buildings using items salvaged from storm debris or locally available materials including palm leaves, timber, and rocks. By providing households with a ShelterKit, beneficiaries were able to weatherproof temporary structures or make repairs to existing structures so that they could move out of temporary shelters. ShelterBox partnered with five organizations to aid distribution efforts. These partners helped distribute 2,805 ShelterKits and 2,805 household packs to the most vulnerable and hardest to reach communities. Household packs included critically needed resources such as water filters, water carriers, and mosquito nets to protect against water and vectorborne diseases, including cholera, typhoid, and malaria.

It is nice to think that when a

disaster strikes other people far away think of them.

T

he Syrian conflict has displaced more people than the earthquakes in Haiti and Japan, Typhoon Haiyan in the Philippines, and Hurricane Katrina combined. Since there are only a few aid agencies with experience operating within Syria who can manage such a complex security environment, support is extremely limited, yet the need continues to grow.

Now in its seventh year, this remains the worst humanitarian crisis of our time. ShelterBox has provided tents, tools and educational supplies, both inside Aleppo and in displacement camps within Syria and in neighboring countries. Assistance has been ongoing, with ShelterBox delivering more than $5 million in humanitarian aid to families in Syria since 2012.

Since 2012, ShelterBox has continuously provided emergency aid to those affected by the Syrian Refugee Crisis.

In 2016, ShelterBox worked with trusted non-profit distribution partners to deliver customized ShelterKits, which

contained a variety of essential items, including mattresses, tarps, solar lights, mosquito nets, kitchen sets, and water purification equipment and storage containers.

At year-end, 2,000 winterized kits were assembled and distributed.

These customized kits provided protection from the harsh winter elements and included hats, gloves, and scarves for adults and children, as well as kerosene heaters. In total, 10,598 families in Syria received lifesaving shelter supplies in 2016.

T

he 7.8 magnitude earthquake that struck Ecuador on April 16, 2016 resulted in hundreds of deaths and left thousands injured or homeless. A ShelterBox Response Team deployed immediately to Ecuador after the earthquake and began to conduct assessments in the hardest hit areas. One of these areas was the city of Portoviejo, which despite being among the worst hit, had seen little in the way of international aid or help from the government or military.

As it does in times of disaster, ShelterBox engaged with the Global Shelter Cluster, the international disaster coordination mechanism implemented by the United Nations. The Shelter Cluster enables better coordination among all shelter actors to enable people who need assistance get help faster and receive the right kind of support.

Working in coordination with the Shelter Cluster, ShelterBox partnered with Progad, a local organization specializing in urban and social development projects, and with Habitat for Humanity, a charity that ShelterBox previously partnered with in Chile and Panama. Through a well-coordinated effort, 3,290 ShelterKits and 300 boxes containing water filters, water carriers, solar lights, kitchen sets,

HOW HIGH L Y T R A I NED V O L U N TE E R S C A R R Y O UT T H E MIS SION OF SHEL TE R B O X ShelterBox is made up of people who believe that shelter is a human right and is vital in the chaos of disaster and conflict. ShelterBox delivers aid to the four corners of the earth, reaching people in need by standing on strong shoulders. The organization is fortunate to have the help of an amazing group of dedicated and highly trained volunteers that make up the ShelterBox Response Team (SRT).

Volunteer response teams undertake a crucial element of ShelterBox’s work by going the extra mile to find the people left most vulnerable after a disaster. For this role, ShelterBox recruits volunteers who can commit long-term. Volunteers must be available to help ShelterBox for a period of at least five years and deploy twice each year for up to 3 weeks at a time.

The selection process is highly competitive – about

1 in 30 applicants make it through training to become response team members.

The assessment process can span up to nine months and includes both a four-day and a nineday residential pre-deployment training.

The role is mentally and physically demanding.

Team members are relied on to be excellent team workers, capable of making good decisions under pressure, able to develop and maintain good relationships with partners and community members, and able to work in locations with damaged infrastructure, few available resources, and vulnerable people that are often experiencing severe trauma.

The diverse group of volunteers come from a range of backgrounds and many countries, but what they share in common is their passion for the work of ShelterBox. S H EL T ER B OX U S A | A N N U A L RE P O RT 2016

Global support from the Rotary International network is the cornerstone upon which ShelterBox is built.

n April 2000, the Rotary Club of Helston-Lizard in Cornwall, England adopted ShelterBox as its millennium project. Little did they know that it would become the largest Rotary Club project in the world, growing to provide emergency shelter to over one million people since its founding. Rotary has been instrumental to the growth of ShelterBox and ShelterBox is Rotary International’s only Project Partner in disaster relief.

By working together with Rotary, ShelterBox leverages collective resources to ensure that it can provide relief to more communities in desperate need of shelter. Rotarians across the world support ShelterBox in many ways – from raising funds to assisting on the ground during disasters. The partnership enables ShelterBox to cross boundaries and cut through red tape to reach even the most remote communities.

In 2016, the two organizations renewed their unique Project

Immediately after, ShelterBox was in contact with the Rotary Club of Capital City in Sri Lanka to begin relief efforts.

The Rotary Club played a central role in the disaster response following the devastating landslides – from outsourcing boats to rescue people cut off by the floods, to setting up medical treatment camps, organizing dry ration collection centers, and helping with general cleanup operations.

Logistically, the Rotary Club of Capital City assisted the ShelterBox Response Team by helping to find accommodations, transportation, translation services, and by liaising with the Ministry of Disaster Management, the military, and local authorities.

In addition, the Rotary Club launched a project to provide education packs to students in schools in Aranayake.

The Club packed and distributed education packs to 6,000 students in 54 schools. The project provided basic materials for education to help students without access to educational resources.

The response demonstrated the strong and impactful partnership between ShelterBox and Rotary — a Project Partnership in true form.

Sharon and Tim Bridgman at the start of their journey in 2012.

A JOURNEY OF H OP E , L OS S + FORTITUDE

On June 4, 2012 Sharon and Tim Bridgman set off from the North Cape of Norway to cycle unsupported and self-funded around the world.

T

“

he husband and wife team from Devon, England were riding to raise awareness and support of ShelterBox, hoping to raise $18,000 for their favorite nonprofit. They covered nearly 21,000 miles, cycling through 26 countries.

He took several months off, and in February 2015 he returned to the Andes to resume training.

He traveled to the place where Sharon had died and brought with him a box of letters from the many people who had written to him and Sharon after her death.

On April 26, 2014 in a remote area in Bolivia, Sharon was hit by a 4x4 vehicle and was killed instantly. Tim was devastated by the loss of his wife and best friend. After Sharon’s death, he returned home, but left his bike in Bolivia because he knew he would be back.

He buried the box of letters there and began his journey again. Tim ultimately made his way up through British Columbia to finish his journey in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska on July 16, 2016. In total, he cycled through 39 countries and covered 37,000 miles.

What compelled us around ShelterBox was that it didn’t matter who you were, where you came from — the organization helps people who have lost everything in an instant.

When asked what it was about ShelterBox that motivated he and Sharon to dedicate years of their lives to raise awareness and support, Tim said, “What compelled us around ShelterBox was that it didn’t matter who you were, where you came from — the organization helps people who have lost everything in an

instant. ShelterBox is amazing in how it uses the goodwill of people to fulfill the mission. So many charities waste money and resources, and you never really know where the donations are going. But with ShelterBox, you see so many people around the world who have lost everything in crisis, benefiting from the work of the organization.”

“People go through life and when disaster happens in an entire area there is no one to turn to.

ShelterBox gives help and hope often when governments and armies can’t. ShelterBox gives people dignity and basic supplies, providing a stepping stone to the rebuilding process.”

Tim Bridgman has been an inspiration to countless people along his journey of hope, loss, and fortitude.
