Why the Pacific?

Australia is part of the Pacific. We have a special relationship with the Pacific Islanders and a responsibility to extend our knowledge, experience, technology and generosity to help raise their living standards.

Special Appeals

Save Easter Island's Drinking Water

This unique Polynesian island, half of which is UNESCO listed World Heritage National Park, riskslosing its drinking water within a few years if urgent measures are not implemented now. As part of phase two of our program to prevent the loss of Easter Island's drinking water supply, we are appealing for the following:

  1. Sponsor a Composting Bin Campaign
  2. Funds for airline tickets for experts
  3. Donation of wheelie bins for recyclable wastes

For further information click "Easter Island: Water Sanitation and Supply" or "Easter Island: on the Verge of a Second Environmental Catastrophe" and "Lan Airlines and Air Tahiti Nui Deliver Composting Toilets to Easter Island" under Films, or "Easter Island on the Verge of a Second Environmental Catastrophy", under publications.
Sponsor A Composting Bin on Easter Island

Help our Pacific neighbours protect their water supply from contaminated waste as well as reducing greenhouse gas emissions 

Easter Island, famed for its Moai statues, is threatened with environmental catastrophe.  The remote, almost treeless island faces the dual threat of desertification and contamination of its water supply from landfill waste.  IHFA's goal is to provide a composting bin to each of Easter Island's 1,200 households, assisting local efforts to save the island's environment.  Composting diverts organic waste from the landfill which threatens the Island's water supply, while providing enriched soils for subsistence farmers to grow healthy food.

Tumbleweed's bin provide the perfect solution.  The bins are rust, rat and dog proof and 100% recyclable at the end of their life.  Tumbleweed has agreed to provide one extra bin for every 10 bins sponsored by IHFA.

$150 one off payment or $15 paid monthly for a year will make a significant difference towards the ecological sustainability of this beautiful, unique island
