In a remarkable demonstration of generosity and commitment to global health, the Esesson Foundation recently hosted a fundraiser in Canberra, which successfully raised $110,000. These funds are earmarked for a noble cause: providing free healthcare to children across the Pacific Islands, where access to medical services is often limited.
Central to this fundraising success was philanthropist John Margerison, who made a significant contribution of $70,000. Margerison, known for his philanthropic endeavors, expressed his desire to support the Pacific Island community in a meaningful way. "He wanted to give back to the Pacific Island community through a charity that puts donations to use directly in the community," explained Ajitha Sugnanam, founder of the Esesson Foundation. Margerison's generous donation underscores his commitment to making a tangible difference in the lives of those in need.
The Esesson Foundation, under the guidance of Sugnanam, has laid out an ambitious plan to deploy the raised funds. The organization will send 21 specialist volunteers to Papua New Guinea (PNG) to provide essential healthcare services. These volunteers, experts in their respective medical fields, will offer their skills and knowledge to benefit over 3,000 children across the islands. This initiative not only aims to provide immediate health benefits but also to build lasting health infrastructure and knowledge in the community.
This effort by the Esesson Foundation and its supporters highlights a critical need in the Pacific Islands. Many children in this region lack access to basic healthcare, which can lead to preventable diseases and a lower quality of life. By focusing on healthcare, the foundation is addressing a fundamental human right, ensuring that children have the opportunity to lead healthier, more productive lives.
The success of the fundraiser in Canberra is a testament to the power of community and philanthropy. It showcases how individuals and organizations can come together to make a significant impact on global health. Margerison's contribution, along with donations from others, reflects a deep compassion for humanity and a desire to contribute to a world where everyone has access to the healthcare they need.
The Esesson Foundation's initiative in the Pacific Islands is a beacon of hope for many. It exemplifies how targeted assistance and expertise can transform communities, paving the way for a healthier future for children in PNG and beyond. As the volunteers prepare for their mission, the spirit of generosity and solidarity from the fundraiser in Canberra will undoubtedly inspire their efforts and the many lives they are set to touch.
About the Esesson Foundation

The Pacific Islands face a unique set of healthcare challenges that underscore the critical need for external support and intervention. Geographical isolation, limited resources, and inadequate healthcare infrastructure contribute to significant health disparities and obstacles to accessing basic medical services. Many communities in these islands are burdened by diseases that are often preventable with adequate healthcare provision, such as malaria, diabetes, and respiratory infections. Additionally, the scarcity of trained medical professionals and the logistical challenges of delivering care across dispersed islands exacerbate these health issues. The situation is further complicated by environmental factors and climate change, which pose new health risks and amplify existing ones. In this context, initiatives like those of the Esesson Foundation are vital, as they bring much-needed healthcare services directly to those who are most vulnerable, aiming to create a foundation for healthier communities across the Pacific Islands.
