Together, let’s put compassion into action this Christmas.

Give now to change lives where the need is greatest.

A quarter of Solomon Islanders live in poverty. The lack of access to quality and affordable education and health services, and high rates of unemployment leaves young people trapped in poverty, poor health, and instability, without the chance of a better future. 

Together with our local partners we are giving young people, who once faced a future with limited prospects, access to the education and opportunities they desperately need. 

Together, we can make a lasting impact on these young lives and help them achieve their dreams. 

Meet Angelina

Imagine grappling with the unexpected death of your spouse and struggling with an unstable income while trying to provide for four young children - all under the age of ten.

Angelina didn’t have to imagine it - this was her reality, and she was struggling to keep her family afloat.

As a widowed mother of four, Angelina faced overwhelming challenges after losing her husband.

Life in Timor-Leste is tough, with jobs scarce and over 20% of families surviving on less than $3 NZD a day. The death of her much-loved husband, the loss of the family’s primary income, and the unexpected burden of taking on his work only made things harder.

Grappling with the sudden death of her spouse and struggling to make ends meet, Angelina’s life was transformed thanks to your support and Caritas’ strong local partnerships.

Joining local Caritas partner HAFOTI was the helping hand that Angelina and her young children needed.

But many other families around the world are in desperate need of the same opportunity.

Your donation this Christmas could be the lifeline they need.

Your Christmas donation will help:

Provide access to safe, reliable water for sanitation, drinking and cooking.

Transform the lives through agriculture, carpentry, craft or financial training.

Give young people the skills to live healthy lives through community-based nutrition training.

No waste, all goodness, with your loved ones knowing that they have helped someone this Christmas.
