The Pacific region have some of the world’s highest rates of stunting. It has lifelong impacts on a child’s health and learning. Stunting can’t be reversed beyond age 2, but it can be prevented.
You can reach children before it’s too late, with growth monitoring to find kids who need help and education programmes to teach parents about nutrition. You’ll also train families to raise livestock and grow vegetables, so they can stop stunting for good.
This is your opportunity to help families lift themselves out of poverty for good. To learn more about the need in the Pacific, download our report below.

Children are protected from violence.
Family-based violence affects the wellbeing of the most vulnerable children across the Pacific. Together, we're working with communities to establish a supportive environment where children can feel safe, pursue their potential and thrive.
Families can meet their basic needs.
Caregivers of the most vulnerable children often lack enough income to meet their children's basic needs. Together, we're strengthening families' capacity to provide food, shelter, clothing, healthcare and schooling for their children.
World Vision 100 is part of a 15-year history of World Vision and the New Zealand Aid Programme working together across the Pacific.
With your help, the programme will reach over 6,000 children and their families in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands, and Vanuatu.
Together, we're tackling deep-seated issues that cause vulnerable children to suffer disproportionately – poverty, malnutrition and violence. This includes addressing harmful social norms, gender inequality and environmental factors that force children into the margins of society.
And because of our partnership, every $1 you donate will grow to $3 to protect and care for our region’s most vulnerable children.
