We are very excited to speak to the International Yachting Community about the incredible role it plays in disaster response work. From the private yachts and Superyachts on the front line, to the thousands of organizations in the yachting community who build them and keep them running. Together it allows them to 'sail with a greater purpose' and what makes this community one of the most influential and benevolent organizations in the world.
Matson has been a wonderful partner and supporter of Sea Mercy and our programs in the South Pacific (see below). We are so grateful for their continued support and belief in our organization and volunteers and in other organizations they support across the South Pacific.
You can't help but feel encouraged when one of the leading volunteer organizations in the South Pacific recognizes your programs by putting you on the front cover of their magazine as the lead story. Our thanks and best wishes to the 38,000 Rotarian members that serve in Australia, New Zealand and the South Pacific and look forward to working with you!
Every year Lloyd's of London selects a charity for their annual Black Tie - London Marine Hull Market Dinner & Auction. We are very excited to announce that Sea Mercy is their selected charity* for 2017. Over 300 of Lloyd’s Underwriters and Lloyd’s brokers will be attending this amazing event at the beautiful Swan Shakespeare's Globe (www.swanlondon.co.uk/) in London on October 12th, 2017.
Help us develop healthy, self-sustaining, and thriving communities across the South Pacific.

CYCLONE YASA (FIJI) - Ongoing Efforts
It has been an ongoing labor of love for our Disaster Response teams and their efforts following Cyclone Yasa. With multiple return efforts and follow-up relief programs, it will take years for the remote villages to return to pre-Yasa conditions. https://fb.watch/3_wNE-P1dK/
With half of their houses and all of their crops destroyed, their fishing gear swept away and 11 fishing boats damaged, the 187 villagers of Yaro on Kia Island could use a helping hand. We are now over halfway towards our fundraising target goal of $8,000 to return to Yaro with material and skilled labour to repair their damaged fishing vessels and to provide more desperately needed fishing equipment.
A huge Vinaka Vakalevu (Thank You Very Much) to all of our TC Yasa volunteers and to everyone out there who is supporting us with donations to help.
