Write your will today
Your support, no matter what size, will help people around the world to rebuild and recover after conflict or disaster.
To make the process simple, ShelterBox Australia has partnered with Safe Will, Australia’s leading online Will-writing platform, to offer supporters 50% off a Will (usually $160).
Having a Will in place provides peace of mind, helps reduce uncertainty for your loved ones, and ensures your wishes are clearly documented for the future.
In as little as 20 minutes, you can take an important step towards protecting what matters most. While there is absolutely no obligation, many supporters choose to leave a gift in their Will to ShelterBox, helping us continue our mission and create lasting impact for the people and communities we support.
Every gift, regardless of size, helps create meaningful change and ensures ShelterBox can continue its important work for years to come.
A gift in your will can bring calm to the chaos
Pledge more than hope. Pledge action with a gift in your Will.
With a Gift in your Will to ShelterBox, you can be there to help families survive the immediate impact of disaster for the next generation.

ShelterBox is the difference between disaster and recovery and I am proud to offer a Gift in my Will to enable that work to continue.

What your gift can do
Tionge, along with his wife Mary and their three children were among the thousands of people affected by the floods that happened in Malawi in February 2024.
The home that Tionge had poured so much time into constructing for his family, had been so badly damaged by the floods that they had no choice but to leave it.
ShelterBox supported Tionge and many more families with tarpaulins, groundsheets, and tools for people to start making their damaged homes watertight. We also provided training on ways to use the tools.
Additionally, we also provided cash grants to help people re-build their livelihoods.
First, I must thank ShelterBox and CARE for assisting us today, we will be able to survive as a family and try to invest the cash which will be received into small scale businesses, the profits will be used to support our family needs.
A gift in your Will can provide life-saving essential aid to families affected by disasters in the future, ensuring that your compassion lives on.
My parents would be delighted to know that as a family, we can stand with another family, we don’t know where or when, but a family who are going through their biggest moment of need, and we can do something to help them through that.
