About Us
We are connecting grassroots women and girls across Vanuatu’s 5 provinces and 65 islands.
Who We are
Mitingar is an idea whose time has come!
“Mitingar is walking with the women. We are the same. We are their voice.
We are the grassroots Women and Girls of Vanuatu. We are the Heart of our Nation.”
— Mary Jack, Founder of Mitingar Women and Girls Association
Why Mitingar is essential
As grassroots women we are determined to empower ourselves.
We are concerned about our communities and the impact of back-to-back, climate-change-driven, natural disasters on our food, water and energy security.
Our sole purpose is to represent, advocate and resource the projects we prioritise as essential to our needs.
How We Help
Mitingar is here to help develop the skills, capacity and resilience to build and sustain our own women-led initiatives.
To navigate opportunities, on our behalf, to resource the programs and initiatives we want to deliver.
To be the representative body providing the women of Vanuatu with a permanent seat at the local, provincial and national decision-making table.
Our Vision
Our Vision is a Vanuatu where grassroots women and girls are empowered, resilient, and at the forefront of community development and national progress.
Our mission
Our Mission is to unite, empower, and amplify the voices of Vanuatu’s grassroots women and girls across all 65 inhabited islands; facilitating active participation in shaping a sustainable and equitable future for us, our communities and our nation.
Our Theory of Change
Mitingar’s ‘Theory of Change’ posits that empowering grassroots women and girls in Vanuatu, to lead our own development initiatives, is essential for sustainable community transformation and resilience.
