ShelterBoxUK | March 23, 2010

At the time of this video being shot, ShelterBox has sent more than 8,000 ShelterBoxes to Haiti after the earthquake on January 12.

Each box contains emergency shelter provision and life saving supplies. In Haiti, ShelterBox has been working with the French Red Cross, the US 82nd Airborne Division, IOM, ACTED, the Dutch military, local Rotarians, Scouts, MSF and Handicap International.

Boxes have been distributed to the people in most need.

  • I hate this video. It shows people as if they had no dignity at all!

    You should know that the Haitian people is more resistant than anyone else and that it's not with 25 tents that they can survive. Luckily they count on themselves first.

    What I hate the most in this is the advertising tone, why don't you work on your own, being only happy to do this?

    And are you so sure your tents are the best solution for a country that is crossed by cyclones and storms very often?

  • @Razdagger sorry you don't like the video. It's not meant to cause any offence. The feedback we've had from the people in Haiti has been extremely positive; the bottom line is they do want the ShelterBoxes we're distributing and our team in PAP are still getting 100s of requests for help. Our tents undergo extensive testing in wind and rain tunnels and can withstand winds in excess of 100mph. Tents are not the long term solution but will provide infinitely better shelter than tarpaulins.
