ShelterBox was one of the earliest backers of luminAID, an innovative solar light that is proving an essential aid item in disaster zones. Its inventors Anna Stork and Andrea Sreshta travelled to Malawi with ShelterBox to see luminAID being used by flood victims, in a feature shown by ABC TV to its US viewers.
ShelterBox delivers aid all over the world, and occasionally radio and TV stations connect with its response teams, and newspapers and photojournalists cover its work in disasters and conflicts.
But rarely does ShelterBox have a shop window to an audience of 7.5 million. This happened on America’s ABC programme ‘Shark Tank’ - the entrepreneur investment format known in the UK as ‘Dragon’s Den’.
