When disaster strikes, having a safe place to shelter can make all the difference. Through its ongoing support of ShelterBox, the Rotary Club of Ely is helping ensure that families affected by natural disasters and humanitarian crises receive emergency shelter and essential aid when they need it most.

ShelterBox works alongside Rotary clubs around the world to respond rapidly to emergencies, providing practical support to communities facing some of their most difficult moments. In 2025 alone, ShelterBox and its Rotary partners supported projects across multiple regions, helping tens of thousands of people rebuild their lives after disaster.

The partnership between Rotary and ShelterBox extends far beyond financial support. Rotary members contribute local knowledge, logistics, assessments, and community connections that help aid reach those who need it quickly and effectively.

The Rotary Club of Ely is proud to play a part in this global effort, standing alongside Rotarians worldwide in supporting families as they recover from crisis and begin rebuilding for the future.
