Rebuilding homes and communities impacted by natural disasters with Wade Gadsby (Chairman of reACT Charitable Trust)

In 2023, Vanuatu was hit by two major cyclones causing severe damage to hundreds of people’s homes and livelihoods.  

Responding to a call for help from New Zealand-based REACT Charitable Trust, Pryda donated a variety of building materials including screws, timber connectors and nailplates, aiming to rebuild 100 homes for families in need, strengthening these simple island-style homes against further cyclone damage.  

REACT Charitable Trust is an organisation helping communities rebuild after devastating natural disasters, providing essential materials, volunteers and connecting other grassroots organisations to support those in need.  

In this episode, we are pleased to welcome REACT Charitable Trust Chairman Wade Gadsby. For more than a decade Wade has been supporting disaster relief efforts, most notably in south east Asia and the Pacific Islands, focusing on assembling building crews, sourcing quality materials and equipping locals with knowledge and skills for long-term resilience.
