Save the Children shines light on Vanuatu
While we still have a few weeks of nice weather ahead of us, a camping trip should definitely be on your agenda. It’s the perfect moment to step away from daily routines, get some fresh air, and recharge in nature. Studies show that spending time outdoors improves both your mental and physical state, reduces stress, boosts your mood, and well, simply perks you up!
Silent Disaster
The most intense tropical cyclone in the Southern Hemisphere, Cyclone Pam is considered the worst natural disaster in the history of Vanuatu. The nation has 267,000 inhabitants scattered over 65 islands. According to Baldwin Lonsdale, President of Vanuatu, the catastrophe has rendered most of the inhabitants homeless. More than ever, there is a need for shelter, food and light.
Save the Children
WakaWaka’s campaign resulted in the donation of 500 WakaWaka Lights to Vanuatu. Our NGO partner, Save the Children, donated another 700. A total of 1200 solar lights were added to shelter kits that also included tents and food. The kits were distributed to families who had lost their homes on the islands of Tongoa and Epi.
