With many international aids focused on providing food, water and clothing for Haiyan victims, Shelter Box focuses on providing temporary shelter through durable tents and light weight survival necessities.  With 11.8 million people affected, 243,600 houses destroyed and more than 921,212 displaced, Shelter Box is working towards providing shelter, warmth and dignity to Haiyan victims. ”
