In remote parts of the Solomon Islands food insecurity is a huge issue.

The lack of nutritious food leads to high levels of malnutrition, stunting, wasting, and low birth weight.

This month, students at Mona School are starting the Garden to Table Programme. Your support will help them learn how to grow and plant seedlings and nutritious vegetables.

Today is World Humanitarian Day. 2023 was the deadliest year ever for humanitarian workers, and 2024 could be even worse.

Despite 75 years of international law to protect civilians and aid workers, violations continue. Civilians and humanitarian workers are paying the price with their lives, while those responsible escape justice.

This World Humanitarian Day, we must confront the normalization of attacks on humanitarians, civilian suffering and impunity under International Humanitarian Law (IHL) and other international agreements.

Many families are still using untreated water which causes sickness. 💧
