World Vision to double aid for Pacific and East Timor - In the news: Pacific | The Development Newswire | Devex: "World Vision is angling to double its aid for East Timor and the Pacific by engaging other major donors in the region.

The Christian humanitarian organization serving nearly 100 countries around the world wants to raise its current $25 million funding for East Timor and the Pacific states of Solomon Islands, Papua New Guinea and Vanuatu for the next five years, a World Vision spokeswoman told Devex.

Kristy Allen-Shirley, World Vision communications director for South Asia and Pacific, explained that the group has committed to “working collaboratively across borders” by partnering with the Australian and New Zealand governments to deliver aid in the region."
