The report highlights monumental developments of the society in the last few years in its initiatives for the Kingdom of Tonga not to mention the society’s trailblazing efforts that have and are positively impacting the people of Tonga. I take pride, knowing that the Tonga Red Cross continues to respond well to the needs of our people in times of natural disasters, domestic tragedies, assisting the hospital with the blood bank requirements, addressing and working with disability, first aid training and services and funding raising activities carried out to assist other sister societies and or to assist vulnerable members of our national community. We are inspired and greatly motivated by the Society’s strategic plan, which sets out a framework which crystallizes the Society’s mission and the vision for future direction. The plan provides a guideline for achieving the objectives for Tonga Red Cross, and prioritizes the tasks to be undertaken. This plan not only demonstrates, but also reflects a shared purpose and direction for the board, staff and stakeholders. I would like to take this opportunity, to pay tribute to our late President, Her Majesty Queen Mother Halaevalu Mata’aho, for her tireless and unconditional dedication to the Tonga Red Cross Society. Her Majesty’s contribution and love for the Society and its works, since its inception is unequalled, and the Board and management are indebted to Her Majesty for the lifetime guidance offered for over 45 years. Lastly, I would like to thank the Board and the management and staff, for their continued commitment to the mission and vision of the Tonga Red Cross Society, and extend my appreciation also to all stakeholders and to members of the public, who continue to support the Society’s various activities with the ultimate goal of alleviating the suffering and helping those vulnerable members of our communities throughout the Kingdom. ‘Ofa Atu Hon. Alaileula Tuku’aho Chairlady 4 FOREWORD TRCS Strategy plan is a product of wide consultation with the community, stakeholders, and TRCS staff/volunteers in an effort to have a shared purpose and to determine what TRCS would look like in the next four years. It also takes account of recommendations from an organizational review of TRCS conducted in early 2011. The consultation process covered Tongatapu, Vava’u, Ha’apai and ‘Eua during August 2011. Community representatives such as town and district officers, TRCS staff and volunteers, related government organizations, donors, businesses and NGOs were invited to participate in a series of workshops. End of 2015, the society achieved 80% of the strategic plan, in disaster response and preparedness, 100% coverage of the Kingdom with all relief supplies storage in districts and outer islands. Training on ERT has been done in all districts. All DM activities have been supported by the Government of Australia and Australian Red Cross Society. The society health team tirelessly implementing the health issue as first aid course in communities and private sectors, standby on any events like rugby field, first aid training for seas fellows includes the health promotions materials. Service to the disability has been supported by the Government of Tonga but before the society received minimal amount. The Society managements are in position to implement the directions from the TRCS Board when the society recruited Program manager, health Coordinator and disaster management officer, officer in charge in Vava’u, Ha’apai and ‘Eua. The society finance team has been recruited to facilitate the financial report to the board and donors. May I express my sincere appreciation for the support from ARC, NZRC, IFRC, ICRC, Japanese Red Cross Society, DFAT, MFAT and other donor partners who provided support towards society activities from 2012 to 2015. I also would like to take this opportunity to convey my humble sincere appreciation for the TRCS Board on their guidance to implement the society development Malo ’Aupito …………………………………….

Salote Tuku’aho after handover transitional shelter to the disable family in Mo’unga’one March 2014 6 VISION TO BE THE LEADING HUMANTARIAN ORGANISATION IN TONGA THROUGH PROVISION OF PROFESSIONAL, EFFECTIVE AND QUALITY SERVICES Hon. Alaileula and Hon. Salote Tuku’aho with all town officers of north Ha’apai islands group after distributions of portable radio for better weather bulletin information from TRCS 2014 7 Fundamental Principles of the International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement Humanity The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, born of the desire to bring assistance without discrimination to the wounded on the battlefield, endeavours, in its international and national capacity, to prevent and alleviate human suffering wherever it may be found. Its purpose is to protect life and health and to ensure respect for the human being. It promotes mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all peoples. Impartiality It makes no discrimination as to nationality, race, religious beliefs, class or political opinions. It endeavours to relieve the suffering of individuals, being guided solely by their needs, and to give priority to the most urgent cases of distress. Neutrality In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, the Movement may not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of political, racial, religious or ideological nature. Independence The Movement is independent. The National Societies, while auxiliaries in the humanitarian services of their governments and subject to the laws of their respective countries, must always maintain their autonomy so that they may be able at all times to act in accordance with the principles of the Movement. Voluntary Service It is a voluntary relief movement not prompted in any manner by desire for gain. Unity There can be only one Red Cross or one Red Crescent Society in any one country. It must be open to all. It must carry on its humanitarian work throughout its territory. Universality The International Red Cross and Red Crescent Movement, in which all Societies have equal status and share equal responsibilities and duties in helping each other, is worldwide. 8 Tonga Red Cross Activities TRCS AGM took place at Dateline Hotel on May 8th 2013 TRCS AGM took place at Dateline Hotel on May 8th 2013.
