Hi Mark,

CARE is currently targeting schools in Whitesands in East Tanna and Erromango. CARE is also currently supporting improvements to community water supplies in the same areas as these schools.

CARE has plans to expand support to menstrual hygiene management in schools in Tanna through a crowdfunding campaign. However, we are focusing support to Secondary Schools under these plans, so Isla school is not included in this. If CARE secures further funding in future, in addition to the current plans we could look to also consider including Isla school in this.

In the mean time, we would happy to share with you our school toilet designs and approach in schools and put you in touch with Mama’s Laef, a local social enterprise which makes reusable sanitary pads if you would be interested to undertake a similar approach in your activities with Isla school?

Contact the CARE Water and Sanitation Manager, Julian Tung, for further information.

All the best,
CARE Australia.

I am the leader of our short term missions team at Elizabeth Church of Christ that has been working with the Isla Primary School on Tanna for over 8 years. We have been involved in constructing classrooms, resourcing the school and conducting teacher training. I notice with interest that Care has been building toilets in schools on Tanna. For our next project we were planning to build a toilet block for the Isla Primary school. I am wondering if you were planning to include Isla Prmary School in your plans. If not, is there a way in which we could partner with you in such a project. Thank you.

Kind regards,
Mark Zerna
Elder, Elizabeth Church of Christ

Together we can all make a difference.
