SHELTERBOX AUSTRALIA KOKODA FUNDRAISING CHALLENGE 2024
I am participating in one of the world’s greatest treks, the 96km Kokoda Trek.
Since 2012 Shelterbox and Rotary have been official Project Partners in disaster relief.
If you are not familiar with Shelterbox it has grown to become an Internationally recognized, independent disaster relief organization and we believe that shelter from the chaos of disaster and conflict is vital.
The equipment provided gives people the hope and the power to transform their own lives.
Since Shelterbox Australia began in 2000 it has responded to earthquakes, floods, volcanoes, tsunamis, hurricanes, landslides, typhoons and conflict. Shelter is so much more than just a roof. It’s the foundation for life, families and communities. It is a place to feel safe after days or weeks of fear. It offers protection from harsh weather, privacy and helps to preserve dignity, it’s a space to heal from trauma. People can stay connected and build resilience together.
The Shelter Kits contain the items that help transform shelter into a home,like cooking sets, solar lights and activity sets for children and much more.

Shelterbox creates Fundraising Challenges for many walks they create throughout Australia and elsewhere. The target for this Kokoda walk is $3500 for each walker.
