The 2015 Purple Cake Day Emergency Fund helped children in Vanuatu affected by Super Cyclone Pam which hit on 13th March 2015, and is said to be the worst natural disaster to ever strike the country.
The small Pacific island nation has a total population of 264,000 and more than half of these (171,000) were impacted, of which 82,000 are children. Homes, schools and livelihoods were destroyed. In partnership with UNICEF NZ, Purple Cake Day Emergency Funds provided clean water, food, shelter and school-in-a-box kits for children in Vanuatu.
