Cyclone Harold Recovery Fund
Through a partnership with ActionAid Vanuatu, Friends of Vanuatu is providing micro-grants to women in savings and loan groups on the small island of Malo in northern Vanuatu. This island was devastated by the category 5 cyclone. The micro-grants are specifically for income-generating activities as these women work to rebuild their communities and the island's economy. Separately, funds have also been provided to help rebuild and restock a small community library on Malo.
