Vanuatu Earthquake Recovery: Clean Water for Schools

Port Vila, Vanuatu – 13 August 2025 – Building on our recent initiatives to assist schools affected by the earthquake earlier this month, our effort to support Vanuatu’s education sector continues. Financial License Ltd (FDL), in coordination with the Vanuatu Financial Services Commission (VFSC), has delivered brand-new 5,000-litre water tanks to five schools in Port Vila — ensuring greater access to clean, safe water for students and surrounding communities.

The five recipient schools are:

Child Care Centre School

Central School

Vila East School

Saint Jeanne d’Arc School

L’Ecole d’Anabrou School

These donations follow earlier contributions of chairs, solar kits, cement, and paint to other schools including Pango Central School, Freedom School (NTM), and Suango Primary School — forming part of a sustained, coordinated response to help communities recover, rebuild, and thrive after the earthquake.

Creating Lasting Benefits for Students and Communities

The arrival of the water tanks was met with joy from students, teachers, and parents alike. Reliable access to clean water will improve not only daily hygiene and sanitation, but also the overall health and learning environment for hundreds of children. These resources will also benefit the surrounding communities, reinforcing the role schools play as essential community hubs.

Speaking at the handover, the Principal of Central School expressed heartfelt appreciation to FDL and VFSC, noting that these contributions directly improve quality of life and educational opportunities for students.

A Commitment That Goes Beyond Immediate Relief

For us, these donations are not a one-time response. They represent a continuing journey of support — one that began with restoring classrooms and providing essential equipment, and now extends to improving infrastructure for long-term accessibility. We remain committed to contributing to society, ensuring that both schools and surrounding communities have access to vital resources well into the future.

Looking Ahead

As recovery efforts progress, FDL, VFSC, and the wider FDL community — including Juno Markets — will continue to work together to restore safe, inspiring, and accessible learning spaces across Vanuatu. By combining resources, expertise, and shared values, we are helping to build a stronger, more resilient future for the nation’s youth.
