GIVING HANDS VANUATU would like to express our sincere gratitude towards everyone who has donated towards the repairs of the corridor roof at Vila Central Hospital. On this page you can see the many reasons why people are donating towards this cause.
“I chose to donate to GIVING HANDS VANUATU because I want a safer public health facility for everyone.

If my hand is short in helping them directly, I want to know that whatever help I can give will contribute to accommodating them.” said Velenie Jacob

Women play such a crucial part in the growth of Vanuatu, but are often overlooked. HCDI is happy to be able to contribute to the promotion of women's well-being through this project. We are grateful that Helping Hands, and also VBTC, put together these much needed hospital improvement initiatives to make sure new mothers and their babies can be happy and healthy. We hope that many others will also be able to contribute. ” said Dr. Astrid Kersten, Executive Director, HCDI.

I lived at Mildura, worked as a grape picker until May my contract expired & should be returning back to Vanuatu but due to the occurrence of the Covid-19, My Contractor then extended my Visa & moved me to Queensland, Northern Australia, where I worked for a big Company called Perfection Farm. However, firstly I lived in Caloundra and go to work in Caboolture as a Raspberry Picker & Then I went & lived at Childers and go to Bundaberg to worked as a Blue Berry Picker and then Back to Caloundra, Caboolture picking Rasberries until the 6th of the last month. My Contractor then move me to Tasmania.
Here am still working as a Picker, picking Blue Berry & Rasberry in the Perfection Berries, Tasmania.
Despite all challenges, I want to acknowledge everyone back my country 🇻🇺 for your everyday prayers towards me and the other RSE & SWP workers oversea.
