In order to get some of the equipment to those in need, Nelson woman Belinda Roselli is trying to raise $14,000 to ship a 40-foot container from Nelson to Port Vila in Vanuatu.
Roselli's business, Lav Kokonas, imports and sells coconut oil and other products from Vanuatu and it was through her work she became aware of the rising problem of diabetes among the indigenous people of Vanuatu.
