Case Study
Caritas is committed to helping at-risk communities prepare for emergencies throughout Oceania.
Preparation before emergencies helps save lives and ensures that vital aid and supplies are sent as quickly as possible where they are needed most.
A basic hygiene kit, containing items such as soap, sanitary pads, a toothbrush and toothpaste provides sanitation and comfort to people displaced by floods, landslides, cyclones or earthquakes in remote and vulnerable parts of the Pacific.
Staff from the Suva-based Social Enterprise Education Programme work with local villages around hygiene access and best-practice.
