Help Vulnerable Communities Fight Climate Change Now
Over 9.2 million people in the Pacific have been affected by extreme climate events in the last 50 years.
The climate crisis has devastated many vulnerable communities, with almost 10,000 reported deaths and damages costing AU$4.2 billion.
The Solomon Islands are prone to natural disasters like cyclones, which can cause widespread destruction and havoc.
When a landslide and cyclone hit Shaniella’s school in quick succession, it destroyed their water supply system and the vegetable garden that they rely on for food.
Your support today can help fund programs like these to mitigate the disastrous side effects of our changing environment and support vulnerable communities to become resilient to climate change.
Along with your generous support, this program is also supported by the Australian Government, through Australian NGO Cooperation Program (ANCP).
“I was in school that time when the landslide occurred. I was devastated because I had no knowledge of what to do and where to get information. I saw students in the school panic, I could hear people’s screaming, crying and shouting, as if the world is going to end. It was a bad experience for me, especially because I am here, leaving my family at home in another island.”
