Rotarians are ready to provide aid to Vanuata in the wake of the earthquake on 17 December 2024. If you would like to assist, there are two options for donating, either to assist immediately or with rebuilding.
On Tuesday, 17 December 2024, a magnitude 7.3 earthquake struck near Vanuatu, followed by multiple aftershocks. With the number of fatalities and injuries rising, and major damage to health, roads and telecommunications infrastructure, it is essential that critical assistance in water, sanitation, health, and nutrition is provided immediately in Vanuatu’s state of emergency.
There are two options for supporting this effort, and both ways, you can be sure that the funds will help directly:
- Donate to the Rotary District 9910 Fund: NO tax deductibility - best suited to Rotary club and district donations, for immediate funding availability;
- Donate to the Rotary Foundation Disaster Response Fund: WITH tax deductibility - suitable for individuals, in support of a future Disaster Response Grant application that is being prepared based on the needs identified on the ground in Vanuatu.
