Dear Carolyn,
                      Thank you very much for this and also for offering to
help. Can you please ask on our behalf if this funding can support research
work as VYWC in collaboration with Vanuatu Human Rights Coalition would
like to conduct a research analysis through storytelling via our local
networks on the  degree of impacts on women and girls livelihoods caused by
climate change impacts.

Thank you so much and kind regards,

*Anne Pakoa *
*Founder and Secretariat*
*Vanuatu Human Rights Coalition *
*P.0 Box 1709, Port Vila, Vanuatu *

*Amplifying the soft timid voices via Rights -based approaches! *
