The Vanuatu Education and Training Sector Strategy recognises education as the key to a brighter future — empowering individuals, strengthening communities, preserving culture, and creating opportunities for every Ni-Vanuatu to thrive.

Yet for many children in Vanuatu, access to quality learning resources remains a challenge. Limited educational infrastructure, shortages of books and teaching materials, geographic isolation, financial hardship, and the impact of natural disasters can all create barriers to learning.

Literacy is one of the most important foundations for a child’s future. The ability to read and write opens doors to education, employment, independence, and lifelong opportunity. However, many students in Vanuatu do not have access to the resources they need to develop these essential skills.

That’s why the Melanie Jewson Foundation is partnering with the US Peace Corps to provide early-years literacy resources to five schools across Vanuatu:

• Maumau, Efate
• Natawa, Santo
• Brenwei, Malekula
• Rensarie, Malekula
• Leviamp, Malekula

By supporting our Give a Book, Change a Life end-of-financial-year appeal, you’ll help place high-quality, age-appropriate books and literacy resources directly into the hands of students who need them most.

Together, we can help more children discover the joy of reading and unlock opportunities for a brighter future.

Your donation today will help provide essential literacy resources to students in five schools across Vanuatu.

Give a Book. Change a Life. Donate today.

With love and thanks as always for your support,

The team at the Melanie Jewson Foundation.
