Our strategy
In 2022 ShelterBox issued our new 5 year strategy. Building on our over 20 years of experience, this strategy will see ShelterBox become even more focused on the impact emergency shelter can have for people after disaster and conflict.
Based on our strategy, our new Theory of Change has been created. It sums up what we will do and why to support communities affected by crisis.
ShelterBox strategy 2022-2027
Building on the solid foundations of the last 22 years, our new 5-year strategy will see ShelterBox become even more focused on the impact emergency shelter can have for people after disaster and conflict.
We will do this in partnership with others for maximum reach and with the good of everyone in mind as we seek to do no harm to people and planet.
We will do more
More people than ever are in urgent need of emergency shelter. We must grow to support as many people as possible, recognising that we can’t do it alone. Partnerships are integral to working at scale. Our partnership with Rotary International has been central to our impact for two decades. We will strengthen current relationships and build new partnerships around the world to deliver our mission.
We will do it well
We are committing to innovation in shelter assistance, learning and adapting as we grow sustainably. This will include a declaration to be carbon net zero by 2027 and building on our achievement to date in removing 250,000 problem plastics from our aid. We will share our data and learning with the wider humanitarian community, using evidence to better serve the people we support together.
We will do it together
We will work more closely with the people we support as well as local and national responders to learn and help to strengthen capacity and resilience in those communities. We will champion ethical storytelling, raise awareness of issues that matter to those affected by disaster and conflict, and become a more diverse organisation to better represent the people we serve
