The #KidsOffNauru campaign called to free all children detained and locked up in Nauru. It highlighted the suffering the children faced as they were detained indefinitely on the island of Nauru. The campaign insisted the children and their families be moved to safety and permanence in New Zealand, Australia or elsewhere.

Some children and their families have been resettled in the U.S., the remaining children have been temporarily transferred to Australia for medical treatment. These remaining children remain in limbo as refugees, as Australia is yet to commit to a permanent settlement solution for them, either in Australia or elsewhere. 

This campaign was initiated by World Vision in collaboration with humanitarian and refugee organisations across Australia and New Zealand, alongside the tireless work of human rights lawyers. It was a platform for everyone to stand up for the children detained on Nauru. 

Having a disaster response fund ready to use, pre-positioning supplies like non-food items, and having staff prepared and trained to respond to emergencies is increasingly important to how we respond to disasters. The global pre-positioning resource network is our designated team that makes sure we’re prepared to respond rapidly to any disaster anywhere in the world. The team pre-positions the supplies and develops preparedness plans, programming standards, logistic assessments, and logistic plans. The supplies are ready to go in seven different warehouses that are strategically located all around the world. These relief supplies are ready for up to 225,000 beneficiaries at any time, ensuring that those affected by disasters will have emergency supplies distributed to them quickly and efficiently.

We also work with communities to help them be better prepared should disasters strike, through our disaster preparedness programmes.
