When disaster strikes…
When disasters like earthquakes or floods occur across the world Rotary is always quick to respond by sending survival kits like ShelterBoxes to the scene. The kit includes a family-size tent, cooking utensils and other life essentials.
Rotary in Harpenden set aside money raised by their events to meet the cost and transportation of the ShelterBoxes. As they are handled by local Rotarians and other trusted agencies we are confident that they are reaching the people who desperately need them.
