Greengrants’ Pacific Islands Advisory Board, led by Coordinator Toeolesulusulu Cedric Schuster, is appealing for funds to support long-term reconstruction efforts following September’s earthquake and tsunami that devastated a large swathe of southern Samoa.
Late September’s and early October’s typhoons and earthquake in the Philippines and Indonesia have resulted in upwards of 1,400 deaths and left thousands more homeless and at risk for illness and disease.
Yesterday we heard from Cedric Schuster, Coordinator of Greengrants’ Pacific Islands Advisory Board, who lives in Samoa. Cedric was in Boulder, Colorado last week for Greengrants’ Global Advisor Retreat. Just after he returned home, the September 29th earthquake and tsunami hit, devastating southern Samoa where about 20 percent of the population resides.
An article in the most recent edition of Alliance Magazine discusses the benefits of the ‘regranting’ model in extending the reach and impact of grantmaking.
It has been close to a month since Greengrants sent out a request for emergency support to help environmental and social justice groups that are calling for an end to the coup and a renewed commitment to environmental reform and civil liberties in Honduras.
