Please give now, to help provide critical emergency supplies including food, water and shelter.

Your gifts will directly support local organisations on the ground in Vanuatu to provide vital humanitarian assistance.

“As one of our closest neighbours in the Pacific, we have a responsibility to step up and support Vanuatu in their hour of need,” says Act for Peace Head of Programs and Partnerships, Geoff Robinson.”
