Climate change is pushing families deeper into poverty. Please make a tax-deductible donation to help families like Antonnie’s to recover, rebuild and adapt.

Warming waters, landslides, floods and other disasters are exacerbating poverty and deepening inequality 

Antonnie is part of the Molpoe community in Vanuatu, who have seen firsthand the destructive consequences of the climate crisis. He can still recall the evening the landslide struck and swept everything away.  

“Our village was covered in dust that fell on us. We panicked and scattered. One person ran … If he had turned, the ground would have buried him …  I took my mother, my children, my wife, and a young boy … and we moved.”  

To this day, if the children hear thunder rumble, they will run. They still fear the sound of the landslide.

– Antonnie, Vanuatu

Antonnie’s family made it to safety. Then, just as his community began to rebuild, a cyclone tore through and destroyed what remained. Antonnie’s family lost their home, their water source, and their farmland — the land they used to make a living.  

Because of the climate crisis, extreme weather events are going to become more frequent and more dangerous. And they threaten to push communities deeper into poverty. That’s where you come in. 

By donating today, you can help communities like Antonnie’s to recover, rebuild and be ready for a future impacted by the climate crisis.

“We sold them [fish] in the traditional market … Well, it’s difficult to sell fish these days. Like, days before, we only sell one or two bundles of fish. Our sustenance comes from fish, when there’s fish we can eat and drink. What if there is no fish?”

“In the times before, we lived a normal life and everyone was happy … But after the landslide took our home, we lived in sorrow and we lost everything. The ground buried our taro gardens, we lost the trees we use for building houses. The ground buried everything.”

Climate change is worsening poverty

Remote communities are hit hardest by climate change, while being the least responsible

Communities like Tasman’s are being hit the hardest by climate change, despite Indonesia being one of 100 countries that contribute just 3% of emissions. Will you donate to help?
