Rebuild Vanuatu Infrastructure

Manua Centre Primary School – December 2015

Manua Centre Primary School in North Efate was very badly damaged by Cyclone PAM and many buildings destroyed or damaged including staff houses.

SHaRM met with the elders and school team and were able to commence rebuilding of the damaged five classrooms, administration and office block with the assistance of Ratua Foundation, Cyrille Mainguy and Volunteer Vanuatu team.

The combined effort saw the school transformed in quick time and a beautiful new building and library reinstated with classes resuming in the newly refurbished rooms in late August 2015.

Welcome to SHaRM Foundation

On the night of March 13th 2015, Super Cyclone Pam hit the island nation of Vanuatu. Made up of 100 small islands, Vanuatu is the home of 250,000 people, many of whom live in traditional villages. Imagine being up all night as winds of 250kms pound your house and that of your neighbours. In the morning you go outside to find that somehow your house is still standing but those of your friends and family have literally ‘blown away’. No pots or pans; no knives and forks; no plates or cups. Your local school or kindy is now just a concrete slab without walls, roof, desks, chairs or books. This is what many people in Vanuatu faced in March. As a result, it is SHaRM’s objective to rebuild schools so that all children can gain access to an education. We are committed to helping this small island nation rebuild after cyclone Pam.
