RDC WEST MEANS FASTER HELP FOR THE EAST

CONVOY OF HOPE HAS BEEN ACTIVE IN THE FAR EAST FOR YEARS. WITH THE OPENING OF ITS REGIONAL DISTRIBUTION CENTER IN SACRAMENTO, CALIFORNIA, CONVOY’S FUTURE RESPONSES IN ASIA AND THE PACIFIC CAN REACH COMMUNITIES MORE RAPIDLY.

Philippines

Between numerous responses to Philippine typhoons, Convoy of Hope has grown its Children’s Feeding program in this island nation. More than 33,000 children are receiving regular nutritious meals.

Tonga

Last year’s eruption of an underwater volcano near Tonga coated the island nation in destructive ash. In the following months, Convoy provided more than 164,000 meals and other emergency supplies to survivors in the region.

Nepal

Nepal’s devastating 2015 earthquake met with a longterm response from Convoy that included extensive agricultural training to help farmers move beyond the earthquake and develop processes to reap bountiful harvests.

Japan

Japan’s 2011 earthquake was the strongest in its history, and created worldwide fears when a nuclear power plant in Fukushima was compromised. Convoy sent 75 tons of resources to help displaced families, including bedding, cooking supplies, hygiene supplies, and clothing.

Australia

Convoy of Hope Australia is active across Pacific Oceania. For example, Convoy actively responded to bush fires in Australia in 2020, to massive flooding in 2021 and 2022, and to Cyclone Gabrielle this year.

Indonesia

Following the 2018 tsunami, Convoy distributed 271,000 meals to nearly 30,000 survivors. Convoy’s response history in the nation stretches back to the devastating 2004 Boxing Day earthquake and tsunami, when more than 580 tons of resources were distributed in the region.
