Peace Winds America

Strengthening disaster preparedness and response in the Asia Pacific

[#Maui] More than eight months after a wildfire devastated the historic town of Lahaina on the island of Maui, Hawaii, survivors are still coping with the challenges of long-term recovery. Peace Winds is providing funding to help local organizations meet some of these ongoing needs.

Last Week, we joined our local partner, Hospice Maui, as they concluded a program that provided professional development workshops on grief and trauma. Over the last several months, the workshops were available free of charge for individuals who have been working tirelessly to support fellow community members through peer counseling.

Peace Winds is also working to support psychosocial activities for children, who make up a large percentage of the affected population.

[#Taiwan] Last week, three members of the Peace Winds “ARROWS” airborne search-and-rescue team were dispatched to Hualien, Taiwan. They joined other Peace Winds staff in responding to the 7.2 magnitude earthquake that struck on April 3. Our teams are working alongside local partners to provide survivors with food, water, medical supplies, and hygiene products. They are also supporting the operations of temporary shelters for those who have lost their homes.

Peace Winds America is collecting donations which will be used to support ongoing relief efforts for earthquake survivors in Hualien. If you have not yet made a donation and would like to do so, please visit our donation page at the link below and select “Taiwan Earthquake” in the dropdown menu. We are grateful for your support which makes our relief and recovery efforts possible.

Today is the last day to support Haiti's fishermen through the #LittlebyLittle campaign! Donate by midnight EDT tonight to ensure your donation will be matched thanks to GlobalGiving.

Even small donations will help us buy much-needed equipment for the members of the fishing cooperative APEDESUD. Items like fishing line, lifejackets, engine oil, and solar panels will help these local fishermen succeed in catching enough fish to support their families and feed their community. Check out the graphic to see how your contribution can help, and click the link below to take action and learn more about this project.

We’re halfway through #LittlebyLittle, but there’s still plenty of time to donate! Every small donation will go a long way toward giving fishermen in Haiti the tools they need to succeed. Until this Friday April 12, GlobalGiving will be matching donations, helping your kindness go even further for those in need.

Thank you to everyone who has donated so far! Our donors have already helped us reach a little more than half of our goal, and we hope to continue raising even more to purchase items like fishing line, life jackets, and a small fishing boat. With these, fishermen in southern Haiti will be able to catch more fish, helping them support their families and their community.
