The Margerison Project

Four strands, one purpose.

John Margerison is a businessperson, entrepreneur and investor. The Margerison Project is a platform to highlight the charitable activities and causes he supports.

Supporting communities in Vanuatu and beyond by backing work that creates meaningful, lasting improvements to people’s lives.

Vanuatu is central to our philanthropic work. We provide support to the nation's communities, strengthen access to essential services, and help build long-term opportunity and resilience.

We also support global causes where targeted help can make a tangible impact across healthcare, children and young people, education and disaster relief. We always direct resources where they can make the greatest possible difference.
