South Pacific/Oceania

World Vets provides volunteers on the annual Pacific Partnership mission lead by the US Navy. The Pacific Partnership campaign evolved from the unprecedented international disaster response for countries devastated during the 2004 Asia tsunami.  Follow up missions recognized the benefits derived from cooperation between national governments, militaries, international organizations, and non-governmental organizations during disaster relief operations, as well as in civic assistance projects.  In an effort to capitalize on the experiences and relationships formed during that tragic disaster, the concept of a recurring mission was established to:    

• Strengthen relationships with host, partner nations, and other partner organizations 
• Build partner capacity to conduct peace, stability, and consequence management operations 
• Improve U.S. and Partner Humanitarian Assistance/ Disaster Relief capacity  
• Improve security cooperation among partner nations

World Vets is proud to be the veterinary NGO represented on this humanitarian aid mission. Countries visited in past missions include, Tonga, Samoa, Marshall Islands,Vietnam, Cambodia, Indonesia and Timor Leste. 


Just recently World Vets shipped 1000 + doses of hearworm medication to Tonga for the South Pacific Animal Welfare visit.
