Help provide urgent humanitarian assistance for the people of Vanuatu
A magnitude-7.3 earthquake struck Vanuatu on Tuesday, December 17, causing widespread damage and significant casualties.
We need your support to provide assistance for those affected by the disaster.
As of Friday January 3, the Government of Vanuatu confirmed 14 deaths, and 1,473 people are displaced. There was significant damage to buildings and infrastructure in the capital, Port Vila, including bridges.
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.”
Act for peace today – give to our emergency appeal.
