Tonga: Volcano Emergency Response
As ash rains down on communities in Tonga affected by the 15 January volcano eruption, Anglican Aid is seeking to reach out to those in need with practical care and the love of Jesus.
Anglican Aid has launched an appeal to meet urgent needs in Tonga. The immediate concerns are for air, and clean water supplies that have been affected by volcanic ash.
Anglican Aid and the Anglican Relief and Development Fund Australia have partnered with the Tongan Evangelical Wesleyan Church in Sydney and its charity arm in Tonga, to distribute urgently needed relief to the people impacted by the recent volcanic eruption. We are also working with Missions New Zealand to provide supplies to four Anglican Churches in the capital, Nuku’alofa, to distribute among their local communities.
This practical care will be distributed by Christians, who outwork their personal faith as they interact with people in need.
