About us
Pacific meets Europe
This is Ulla Lohmann, film and photo journalist, who works for clients such as National Geographic, Discovery, BBC, GEO and French TV. She is greeted by her friend Tom, the chief of Yakel, a village on Tanna Island in Vanuatu: Pacific meets Europe.
This image does not only show the joy of their reunion, but also the extraordinary relationship which Ulla maintains with many people in the South Pacific. I took this picture while I was with Ulla on the volcanic island of Tanna, where people still live in a barter economy.
How we help
Direct help on location
Ulla feels obligated to give something back to the people who gave her access to their lives and who taught her many things. She supports them with tools and goods which can’t be bought there, or only with money – which these people don’t have or have very little of. On these South Pacific islands there is very little infrastructure: no roads, jobs or hospitals.
Solar power
There is no electricity, and if any, only via generators – and fuel has a prohibitive price. Ulla helps with solar lamps, solar torches and solar panels to power radios and mobile phones.
Disaster protection
The region is known for frequent earthquakes and tsunamis. Without a reliable warning system and electricity people are defenceless. We also support the installation of a volcanic eruption warning system in Vanuatu.
Coffee farmers in Papua New Guinea
In the highlands of this former German colony we support coffee farmers to grow their coffee, become certified as organic and market it – and help maintain access roads for reliable transport.
Ulla helps on location with small things of daily life and with solar power. Please help Ulla with her warm-hearted contribution and give her your hand.
“Only five euros – once or every month – can go a long way. I personally guarantee that the money arrives in the Pacific in full and is used sensibly to support the Pacific People.”Sincerely yours, Guy M. Y. Ph. Franquinet, President
The people in the Pacific will thank you!
