Partnerships & Donors

Since April 2022, the operations of HELPR-1 have been made possible thanks to the generous support of the Australian Government through the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade (DFAT), Global Support & Development (GSD), and Respond Global.

These partnerships have been instrumental in delivering essential services to some of the most remote and underserved communities across Vanuatu’s islands. HELPR-1 has provided critical health outreach, strengthened disaster preparedness, and supported frontline health systems – all from the deck of a purpose-built vessel designed to meet the complex needs of the Pacific.

We are deeply grateful to the Australian Government and GSD for their commitment to improving health access and resilience in Vanuatu. Their trust in HELPR-1 has helped us reach thousands of people with services that would otherwise be out of reach.

Our vision to scale this model to other Pacific Nations relies on partnerships like these. We welcome collaboration with governments, foundations, and private donors who share our commitment to practical, community-centred solutions that work in challenging environments.
