How did it all start?

• In late 1999, Tom realised no one was really
  dealing with this specific challenge and came up
  with the idea of the Shelter Box. He spent the
  next few months researching the idea, sourcing
  equipment and getting others to back the project.
• Shelter Box was launched in April 2000 and the
  first boxes sent to India in January 2001. Now,
  Shelter Box has become one of the most effective
  aid agencies in the world.

How they have made a difference?

• In January 2001, the first 143 Shelter Boxes were
  flown to the earthquake-hit region of Gujarat in
  India. Over the next four years, the project grew
  steadily and the charity responded to 23
  different disasters around the world.
• Then, on 26th December 2004, came news of the
  Boxing Day Tsunami and everything changed. An
  unprecedented flood of donations meant the small
  team that had developed at the charity together
  with its many loyal volunteers was able to
  respond on a scale not previously envisaged. 
• During 2005, Shelter Box also helped 13,000
  victims of Hurricane Katrina and provided aid for
  approaching 140,000 people after a huge
  earthquake in Pakistan
