IMPROVING LIVES BY CONNECTING THOSE THAT HAVE WITH THOSE IN NEED

Our Impact 

10 years of projects

We've done a little reflecting this week on the last 10 years of projects. Here's a summary

Our Equipment

We work with DHB’s, public and private health providers, manufacturers and distributors to collect the great equipment they have but will no longer use and rehome that in the Pacific.

Transport, logistics and storage

Where possible we use spare capacity in transport and storage.  We work with fantastic transport, shipping and storage partners who support us to do what we do.
