Terang Rotarian Kim Budworth plans to raise awareness and money for the ShelterBox tents by spending 48 hours in one in the middle of Terang this weekend.

And even in the face of her own personal disaster, she is going to go through with the challenge.

Ms Budworth was struck down with pneumonia last week and has been bedridden since Friday, but she is determined to go through with the fund-raising sleep-out.

"I don't think my doctor is terribly (impressed) with the idea," Ms Budworth said.

"But it's very important to raise awareness and money to buy more of these ShelterBoxes.

''A lot of the people affected by natural disasters don't have much of anything anyway, but to have their homes destroyed is just devastating.

"(The tents) cost $1200 to put together and can provide shelter, light, heat, clean water, cooking implements and tools to assist up to 10 people in disastrous circumstances," she said.

The Rotary Club of Terang has donated five ShelterBoxes in the past and the tents have been used to assist disaster-affected people in Pakistan, Burma, the Congo and Sri Lanka.

ShelterBoxes have helped more than 600,000 people worldwide in the wake of over 70 disasters, including the Black Saturday bushfires.

Pneumonia or not, Ms Budworth said she will be in the ShelterBox on The Avenue in Terang from tomorrow noon to Sunday noon.

"I hope to talk to people and give them a bit of awareness on what the program is all about," she said.

Ms Budworth added that fellow Rotarians Brian Glennen and Bob McIntosh would be on hand to keep her company, plus "one of the Rotarians is a doctor who can keep an eye on (my health)".

Anyone wishing to make a donation can drop into the ShelterBox in The Avenue in Terang over the weekend, or can contribute through the Rotary Club of Terang.
