Scandinavian built Humanitarian vessel Vega sails 15,000 kilometers to aid remote island communitiess

During our 2013 delivery season the Humanitarian vessel Vega delivered over 20 tons of donated educational and medical supplies to some of South East Asia's most remote island communities. This was made possible by our friends and supporters who so kindly donated the supplies needed.

Every year for the past 10 years the Humanitarian Vessel Vega has sailed over 15,000 kilometers gathering these supplies and then delivering them to the needy.  Following the same route even year, visiting the same islands and communities, vVega's all volunteer crew have helped build medical and educational capacity for these isolated communities. By providing equipment, drugs, and training support for over 120 traditional midwives Vega has helped reduce the maternal and natal mortality rates for the community she assist by as much as 50% in some places. Vega also provides basic fishing and farming supplies to some of the more remote islands in order to improve nutritional content.
