Alofa Tuvalu

ALOFA TUVALU was born from the will to save Tuvalu, the first nation threatened to be submerged due to climate change. This 26 km² archipelago – 9 islands lost in the South Pacific – is the symbol of what awaits us all if we do nothing to stop global warming. After a film “Trouble in Paradise” produced in 2003 about the situation in Tuvalu, Gilliane Le Gallic (who initiated Earth Day in french speaking countries in 1990) went back to gather the Tuvaluans around her assistance project “Small is Beautiful”. Back in France, she created the association in February 2005 in order to host the project. Today ALOFA TUVALU gathers several hundreds of members and supports, including media, artists, scientists, and of course Tuvaluans.
