Some recent projects

Sri Lanka Emergency Readiness

Aid Meridian is currently working through an implementation plan in Sri Lanka focused on Emergency First Response (EFR) training and essential readiness supplies. While this long-term preparedness work continues, the recent severe floods had an immediate and devastating impact on communities, and we were able to directly fund urgently needed supplies to support relief efforts in Kandy. We are also seeking additional support to assist with body retrieval requirements—a difficult but critical need emerging from this disaster.

Our commitment to Sri Lanka is deeply personal: Aid Meridian’s founders have long-standing ties to the country, sharing a love for its people, culture, wildlife, and world-renowned surf. Many Australians feel this same connection, with Sri Lanka and Australia enjoying a rich and longstanding exchange of tourism, culture, friendship, and community. This bond strengthens our resolve to stand alongside Sri Lankan communities in times of crisis and support efforts that build resilience for the future.

Vanuatu Emergency Readiness

Aid Meridian is actively collaborating with local NGOs to strengthen community readiness by preparing and distributing Emergency First Response (EFR) packs that can be deployed immediately in the event of an emergency. These partnerships allow us to ensure that practical, locally appropriate supplies reach the people and regions most likely to need them, while also supporting a network of grassroots organisations who understand their communities best.

Alongside this preparedness work, we are funding additional locally led projects that improve resilience, safety, and day-to-day wellbeing. By empowering trusted NGOs and investing in community-driven initiatives, Aid Meridian helps build sustainable, meaningful support structures that can respond swiftly when crisis conditions arise.

Southeast Asia Anti-Human Trafficking

Aid Meridian is in the early stages of establishing a collaborative anti–human trafficking initiative, working closely with respected local partners and community organisations. This region faces significant vulnerability, and while the challenges are real, so too is the strength and resilience of its people.

We are currently progressing through the appropriate regulatory and coordination processes with local authorities to ensure our involvement is responsible, lawful, and aligned with community needs. As this groundwork continues, we are seeking additional support to help build a safe, sustainable program that empowers local organisations, strengthens protective networks, and contributes meaningfully to long-term prevention efforts.

Anti-Money Laundering and Counter Terrorism Funding in Australia

Valitros is taking on this project as part of their commitment to aligning with Aid Meridian’s values, offering free AML and CTF support to accountants and professionals across Australia. Their goal is to help disrupt the flow of illicit funds entering the country—money that drives up housing prices, fuels organised crime, and makes it even harder for young Australians to afford a home.

These criminal groups also target vulnerable people, including migrants and those under financial stress, for exploitation and laundering schemes. By helping frontline accountants identify and prevent this activity, Valitros is contributing to safer communities, fairer housing conditions, and stronger protection for Australians who are most at risk.
