Our steadfastness toward the Afghan people is unwavering. The vision, Afghan people and work we committed to almost 40 years ago continues to burn as bright as ever.
SNI has been officially invited to assist in the country and our offices are operational. Our focus is how to best deliver much needed emergency relief to the most vulnerable. We prioritise our on-going projects based on the commitments made to the NGO community by the new government.
To those that have already donated, we are incredibly grateful. To those considering supporting our commitment to the Afghan people, we welcome your contribution.
Over the past 40 years, our work has been purposeful. We have ensured the survival of thousands of people through food distributions (and we’ll do it again)! Approximately half a million Afghans live in houses built with our materials and labour. Several dentists and healthcare professionals have been trained with our help. Children and young people have received an education and vocational training. Hundreds of thousands have permanent access to clean drinking water and. Many have had the provision of sustainable agribusiness enterprises.
Our work is not finished. We will not give up and, with your partnering, we will continue to make a difference in the lives and future generations of the Afghan people.
Shelter Australia believes in meeting the needs of the people where they are at now, and empowering them for a better future.
Combining emergency food relief and long-term developments, we remind some of the worlds' resource-poor people that they are not forgotten.
Shelter is volunteer based and relies on donations to support and fund projects.
98.5% of all funds donated is invested directly into field projects.
Partner with us in restoring hope within the lives of some of the most resource-scarce people in the world today.

With your support we are able to bring hope to a scenario that no human deserves to live in.
Where are our projects?
Across the past 40 years Shelter has provided support to internally displaced people, refugees, and natural disaster victims from Pakistan and Afghanistan.
Today Shelter is one of the few returned government approved charities in Afghanistan that is certified to provide humanitarian aid in the nation.
Shelter Australia is also in Togo, Africa!
After members of our team developed a deep friendship with a Togolese man, Shelter Australia felt a strong desire to help restore hope and empower villages in rural Togo.
Together with local community groups, we are digging sustainable wells and building a remote learning centre.
Current projects we are seeking to fund
Sustainable water wells
Togo has two seasons - wet and dry.
In the dry season, the only way for households to have water is if the woman of the family walks to the nearest river and carries 25 litres of water on her head.
In some remote villages, this chore takes over six hours to complete, and the water is not even safe to drink.
Underground water can be found, but resources and financial aid are needed. Learn more about Shelter Australia's efforts.
