Message from Shelterbox -

Remote villages in western Pakistan, in areas bordering Afghanistan have been devastated. Many affected villages are above 10,000ft altitude with sub zero temperatures already - and winter is soon closing in. Without adequate shelter many villagers - particularly the young and elderly are extremely vulnerable and may not survive.
ShelterBox is one of few aid organizations in the area and the only one providing desperately needed "winterized tents" which are essential to survival.
ShelterBox response team members have been required to operate accompanied by security personnel to get essential aid to disaster victims. Due to security concerns in the region and the remoteness - many aid agencies have stayed away making the delivery of ShelterBox aid vital if further casualties are to be avoided.
 
Donations are urgently needed to enable additional tents and Shelterboxes to be sent to the region.  Contact your local Rotary Club (contact details in the clubs section of this website or Shelterbox www.shelterbox.org
