Catastrophic Earthquake Hits Equador
A ShelterBox response team is traveling to Ecuador to carry out assessments following a catastrophic 7.8 magnitude earthquake near the northern town of Muisne.
The devastation has been huge. Streets have cracked and many buildings have collapsed, leaving people homeless and causing thousands of casualties.
The ShelterBox operations team has been monitoring the situation since the earthquake took place on Saturday night, which has so far triggered heavy landslides and more than 130 aftershocks.
Our ShelterBoxes can provide shelter and essential aid, like blankets, solar lights and water filters, for families who have lost their homes and belongings, while shelter kits contain heavy-duty tools and materials to help people rebuild damaged homes and buildings.
ROTARY is responding to an URGENT APPEAL FOR SHELTER AND AID TO ECUADOR by raising funds for SHELTERBOX CANADA. A Shelterbox is a TENT with supplies for purifying water, some food, cooking utensils, blankets, etc. for a family of 10 or more living in a crisis situation.
THE NEED FOR SHELTER IS MASSIVE AND SHELTERBOX IS HELPING THE MOST VULNERABLE IN NEED OF WATER, FOOD AND SHELTER.
WHATEVER YOU CAN GIVE WILL GO DIRECTLY TO SHELTERBOX CANADA’S EMERGENCY RESPONSE TEAM.
TAX RECEIPTS CAN BE ISSUED. DONATE NOW! COME TO THE MALL, SEE THE SHELTERBOX. ROTARIANS WILL BE ON HAND TO RECEIVE YOUR MONIES.
