“Who knows if the next time the waters come, it will take our house with it. It is not safe for us here. When the river comes it will flood our village again. We have seen firsthand how the river can carry houses like how the water can move a floating ship.” - Margaret

Climate change is the greatest crisis of our generation. It is washing away Margaret’s past and present. You can help stop this.

Our Pacific neighbours have contributed the least to climate change, yet they are paying the highest price. Intense, frequent storms and flooding are destroying their livelihoods and constantly putting families like Margaret’s at risk with little time to rebuild before the next disaster hits.

You can help those already experiencing the impacts like Margaret. Your donation can help to drive systemic change for the most vulnerable and marginalised – including those with a disability, single parents, widows and those living in remote areas. Your donation will help to reduce vulnerability and increase access to land and services, improve food security and will do so much more. You are creating lasting sustainable change across generations.

Help Hinome Stay In School

No girl should be held back because of her period. Donate now.

“I feel down, I feel that I am not going to make it, some of my classmates will be scoring good marks than me. I get very emotional and sometimes I cry when I miss out on test and assignments.” – Hinome*, grade seven student in Papua New Guinea (PNG).

Your generosity today can change Hinome’s future, save lives and help to end period poverty in PNG.

As a child, how did your ability to learn shape your future? What would your life look like today if an education, and all the opportunities it provided, were not easily accessible?

In the rural highlands of PNG, girls like Hinome don’t have the same educational opportunities. They are often unable to continue attending school because they lack access to basic menstruation and sanitation items such as pads. They must also contend with the cultural stigmas surrounding periods in their communities. This means Hinome, and generations of girls just like her, remain trapped in these unjust situations without the education they need to lift themselves out of poverty.

The spread of coronavirus has further highlighted how important it is to introduce access to safe water and hygiene products to at-risk communities like Hinome’s.

Coronavirus crisis

Coronavirus crisis: you can help save lives

You’ve been told to practice physical distancing, wash your hands and test for Covid-19 if you feel sick. What would you do if your situation prevented you from doing these three crucial tasks? How would you feel knowing these necessary measures could save your life? Nur Jahan*, a Rohingya refugee living in Cox’s Bazar, Bangladesh, urgently needs your help. There aren’t enough resources in the refugee camp where she lives to protect herself and her family from deadly threats such as coronavirus.

The Rohingya refugee camp is one of the most at-risk places in the world. Over 855,000 refugees live in extremely overcrowded conditions. Forty thousand refugees – roughly the population of Whanganui – are packed into a square kilometer. Flimsy tents are built on a steep hillside and are vulnerable to cyclones and heavy monsoon rains which cause flooding and landslides. Storms make the ground so wet and muddy that it encroaches into shelters leaving families with no dry ground to sleep on. Can you envisage surviving in a place like this? Everyone is coughing, sneezing and breathing in the same air.

You can help save Nur from deadly threats she faces on a daily basis including coronavirus. Your generosity can give her the basic necessities she needs to protect herself and her family.

Safe water, saves lives

Safe water saves lives.

Imagine not being able to simply turn on a tap to wash your hands and protect yourself from coronavirus. Instead you have to make a long and dangerous journey every day just to get water. You face the risk of injury and violence but without water you face the extra deadly threat of disease. The outbreak of coronavirus means the risk is even more terrifying and serious.

In Papua New Guinea, Javoto and women just like her make this treacherous journey every day for their families. You can provide our neighbours in Papua New Guinea with safe water so they can protect themselves from coronavirus and other deadly diseases. For these communities coronavirus is now a crisis within a crisis. Your support is urgently needed.
