@jack $vanuaturelief Help us provide shelter, food and water to 1000 families in the remote villages in Vanuatu. Our homes, food and water security has been destroyed by Tropical Cyclone Harold. Help has been limited due to our remoteness. Thank you #startsmall and Mr Dorsey!
Vaccines rely on a 'cold chain' as dedicated health workers cross mountains and rivers.
It's about to become more important than ever. We’re strengthening the cold chain to ensure #COVID19 vaccines can be delivered quickly and safely throughout the world.

Team of thatch roof makers teaching villages how to make thatch roof out of coconut leafs. Not the best cyclone-proof material, but at least they can get some roof over their heads. #Update Currently, we still have more than 7000 families without a roof. #TCHarold#CycloneHarold

"I was really scared when the strong wind was blowing. I heard our roof making noises & tree branches falling. Water came into our house. My bubu (grandmother) held me & covered me with my blanket.” -Anita, 6, & Alicia, 5, with their grandmother in Luganville, Vanuatu.
