World Vision is delighted with New Zealanders' generosity following the recent Solomon Islands earthquake and tsunami.
"We've received a fantastic $50,000 from public donations so far," says Lisa Cescon, World Vision CEO.
The money raised by World Vision will go towards projects like digging pit latrines.
"It's such an awesome response and typical of Kiwis' willingness to give in times of need. Over the weekend, our donations absolutely skyrocketed, and we expect this surge of generosity to continue.
"So far, New Zealanders have really opened their hearts to the plight of our neighbours, and they can be assured this money will make a huge difference to the people who need it most."
The donations by New Zealanders will go towards World Vision's relief effort, which includes establishing health and sanitation facilities, rebuilding homes and providing much-needed emergency supplies such as blankets, soap, basic cooking utensils and buckets among other things.
