Responding to natural disasters
Vanuatu is ranked the most vulnerable country globally to natural disasters. In April 2020, Cyclone Harold was the second Category 5 Tropical Cyclone to have wreaked havoc in Vanuatu in just five years.
We're working with communities to prepare for, respond to, and recover from disasters. We help families with shelter, water, healthcare, child protection activities and economic opportunities.

Keeping children safe from violence
Women and children are often victims of family and gender-based violence. With your support, we are working to keep families safe from violence.
We are tackling violence at the root cause by partnering with communities to foster safer, more inclusive communities. We are changing perceptions about violence by transforming religious and cultural norms that are often used to justify violence.

Building resilient livelihoods
Up to 85% of people in Vanuatu have experienced negative economic impact due to COVID-19. There is a lack of income and employment opportunities, especially for women and youth.
Thanks to your support, we are working to increase access to savings and loans, strengthen small businesses, and work with farmers to produce higher quality and quantity yields.
