It has been more than one year since Cyclone Pam struck Vanuatu, and the GlobalGiving community have provided much-needed recovery and rebuilding for people devastated by the storm. Your support has led to lasting positive impact for affected people. Through your donations:
This fund will be closing but if you would like to continue to support other disaster relief and recovery efforts, you can find information about GlobalGiving’s response here: https://www.globalgiving.org/disasters/.
Because you have been committed to supporting relief efforts not only at the onset of the storm, but months after to insure long-term impact for a stronger and more resilient Vanuatu, we would like to invite you to a special event: From The Front Lines: GlobalGiving Disaster Response Panel.
Your support has made it possible for GlobalGiving’s nonprofit partners to provide immediate and long-term relief for communities impacted by past disasters, like Typhoon Haiyan, and recent disasters, like the earthquakes in Japan and Ecuador, the Nepal earthquakes, the Ebola outbreak, and the Syrian refugee crisis. At this event you’ll have the opportunity to hear from the organizations you have supported and disaster responders’ first-hand experiences.
Please RSVP by May 16th. Click here to learn more and RSVP.

Time: 06:00 pm EDT (Find this time in your city).
Location: You can join in person at GlobalGiving’s DC office, or watch online.
Thank you for your previous and ongoing support. We look forward to seeing you on May 18th!

Project reports on GlobalGiving are posted directly to globalgiving.org by Project Leaders as they are completed, generally every 3-4 months. To protect the integrity of these documents, GlobalGiving does not alter them; therefore you may find some language or formatting issues.
If you donate to this project or have donated to this project, you can receive an email when this project posts a report. You can also subscribe for reports without donating.
When a disaster strikes, recovery efforts led by people who live and work in affected communities are often overlooked and underfunded. GlobalGiving is changing this reality. Since 2004, we've been shifting decision-making power to crises-affected communities through trust-based grantmaking and support.
We make it easy, quick, and safe to support people on the ground who understand needs in their communities better than anyone else.
They were there long before the news cameras arrived, and they’ll be there long after the cameras leave. They know how to make their communities more resilient to future disasters, and they’re already hard at work. GlobalGiving puts donations and grants directly into their hands. Because the status quo—which gives the vast majority of funding to a few large organizations—doesn’t make sense.
