Your gift in action
Your gift is so much more than an e-card. It’s also a gift for someone like Risa, whose home was destroyed when Tropical Cyclone Harold hit Vanuatu.
Sadly, the storm took the side of her house and tore off her roof. All of the crops in her garden were damaged.
But thanks to our incredible supporters, we were able to provide Risa with the essentials she needed to rebuild – tarpaulins, a tool kit, a kitchen set and a hygiene kit.
