When a natural disaster strikes or a war breaks out, thousands of people are often left homeless. Shelters quickly become dangerously overcrowded, and it takes time to bring in temporary housing or build new construction. Emergency supplies, food, and basic medical equipment can also be tough to track down when so many people are injured and in need of aid. So how can we help people whoâ€ve been displaced and have nowhere to turn?
Tom Henderson, a British Rotary Club member and former search-and-rescue diver for the Royal Navy, came up with a solution in 2001: the ShelterBox.
