The Civil Society Forum of Tonga (CSFT) is continuing to update Friends of Tonga on the progress of their disaster relief efforts. We wanted to provide you with photos of the CSFT’s successful Cash For Crops program.
As a reminder, this program assists farmers with harvesting crops that were damaged by the tsunami. This harvested food is then provided to the communities that were evacuated from the outer islands. This innovative program is actively providing financial relief to farmers who would have lost acres of food and is providing food to the most vulnerable communities.
From what we are hearing from our partners on the ground, services are beginning to slowly transition from disaster relief to investment in long-term recovery initiatives. We are actively monitoring how we can best support these efforts and will keep you updated on how we will continue to sustainably finance high-impact relief and recovery efforts.
