About Shelter

History and Philosophy

Shelter Now has been providing international humanitarian assistance for nearly 25 years. The name "Shelter" is directly linked to the organization's philosophy: Christ's teaching of loving one's neighbor means helping the poorest of the poor, by giving them food and drink and a roof over their heads. more

Our Work

Shelter Now was founded in 1983, in response to the largest movement of refugees the world has ever seen. Shelter Now helped thousands of Afghan families, handing out food, building emergency accommodation, soup kitchens, clinics, schools and wells. more
