Vanuatu Christian Council seeks a grant from the government

The Vanuatu Christian Council (VCC) has written to the government to apply for a 13 million Vatu grant for 2022.

VCC's Secretary General Pastor Shem Temar told the Daily Post newspaper that the money is to help tackle increasing moral issues in the country.

While he did not go into detail, he added that the concerns faced by all churches today is the increasing use of marijuana, alcohol and teen pregnancy.

In 2021, the government paid 50 million Vatu (local currency) to the Vanuatu Christian Council to support its budget.
