Emergency relief

GVN Foundation's Emergency Fund was set up to provide emergency relief to countries in need. We are currently raising emergency funds for the following countries:

Haiti

Haiti's worst quake in two centuries hit south of the capital Port-au-Prince this week. Thousands of lives have been lost, many are still missing, and hundreds of thousands of people have been affected. Haiti's Prime Minister Jean-Max Bellerive says he believes more than 100,000 people may have been killed.

Samoa

Disaster struck when a powerful 8.0-magnitude undersea quake unleashed tsunamis on the vulnerable Pacific islands. Four tsunami waves up to six metres high roared ashore in Samoa, travelling up to 1.6km inland - tossing cars into trees, razing buildings and sweeping its victims back out to sea. They caused the most devastation on the island of Upolu, a popular holiday spot for Kiwis.

Vietnam

Vietnam was hit by Typhoon Ketsana when it blew across the South China Sea from the Philippines and unleashed a month’s worth of rain in just 12 hours. It has left over 100 people dead and 170 000 people have reportedly been evacuated.
