The tsunami that hit Indonesia on 22 December was devastating, with sea levels increasing by up to three metres. There have been at least 435 deaths and over 33,000 people displaced from their homes. Heavy rains and flooding have made things even more difficult for them.
With your help, we can get urgent support to those in need, especially vulnerable children. Our efforts are focused on meeting basic needs, including water, healthcare and household supplies. With the generous help of our supporters, we are also setting up child friendly spaces for children, many of whom are quite traumatised. These spaces allow them to play in a safe and normal environment.
Can you donate today and help us to provide assistance to vulnerable children and their families? Even the smallest amount can make a tremendous difference.
How your money can help:
- £16 could provide clean water for a child for a month.
- £29 could provide an emergency hygiene kit.
- £75 could provide a family of five with food for a month.
- £130 could provide two sets of World Vision’s emergency bundles, which can include crucial items such as blankets and toothpaste.
