About CARE Vanuatu
CARE is an international humanitarian aid organisation fighting global poverty, with a special focus on working with women and girls to bring lasting change to their communities. As a non-religious and non-political organisation, CARE works with communities to help overcome poverty by supporting development projects and providing emergency assistance.
CARE international in Vanuatu has a focus on Gender Equality, Disaster Risk Reduction, Climate Change Adaptation, Agriculture and Water and Sanitation and Hygiene.
Project Context
The Helti Kakae, Helti Famili project aims to improve food security and increase the participation of women in economic decision-making in TC Harold and COVID-19 affected communities at the household level.
The project focuses on supporting households to grow fast growing, nutritious food. Households are supported with knowledge about how to grow the new crop varieties, as well as knowledge about how to prepare them to eat and to ensure a nutritious diet.
Women’s groups are also supported with leadership training and family financial management (FFM) workshops along with their partners. FFM workshops promote gender equality through supporting women and men to increase their respect for each other’s contributions; enhance their communication skills; and facilitate joint household level financial planning and budgeting.
