The schools listed above would meet great needs and desires in Vanuatu, that's why they could be among some of the first ones to be run here. Also, we had bases from overseas signal interest in help establishing some of these schools in Vanuatu in the near future.

Vanuatu is categorized as a least developed country by the UN and faces a lot of challenges. Especially the areas of education and healthcare are in bad shape. English is the main language in businesses, but the English proficiency among young people is generally quite low, thus making it hard for many to find jobs. Many diseases could be minimized or prevented by applying very basic health and hygiene principles. More than half of the young people are carrying one or more sexually transmitted infections. HIV/AIDS is becoming a problem which could easily take on the proportion of that in Africa, mainly because people do not know anything about AIDS. Also, there is a great deal of emotional pain and trauma but no real place to receive counseling.

Some of the churches are catching a glimpse of God's vision for islanders going out as missionaries and want to be part of it. They want to send out some of their people as missionaries and are asking for appropriate training for their future missionaries.

What is important to us is that the schools and seminars held in Vanuatu are relevant first and foremost to Vanuatu. This could mean a different UofN location runs their school here once or twice as needed, or a school establishes itself in Vanuatu for the long run.

We encourage any UofN location and any UofN School Leader to consider Vanuatu as a possible place for an outreach and for multiplication of their school. Get in touch with us and we can start discussing and praying about it.
