Kia ora Coastella friends! A big shout out to our dear friend Nat Gyles who was the Coastella Operations Manager. Nat has headed to Budapest as part of the New Zealand Red Cross International Delegate Programme.

She will be travelling around the countries bordering Ukraine to help Red Cross teams assist people who have fled the conflict zones. So proud of Nat and the amazing work she is doing with New Zealand Red Cross!

Our second international delegate is on her way to join the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC) team supporting people affected by the conflict in Ukraine.

Natalie Gyles is travelling to Budapest where she’ll be focusing on the distribution of multipurpose cash support to the most vulnerable people. Cash assistance provides funds for displaced people to buy the essentials they need, which could include rent assistance for housing. Natalie will be working for the IFRC and Red Crescent Societies as part of the New Zealand Red Cross International Delegate Programme.

She will be travelling around the countries bordering Ukraine to help Red Cross teams assist people who have fled the conflict zones.

“I’ll be focused on the data and systems side of the cash and voucher programme — helping ensure the cash support is going to where it’s needed most,” says Natalie.

Natalie has a background in information management. She’s part of the New Zealand Red Cross IT and Telecommunications Emergency Response Unit and has previously been deployed to Indonesia and the Pacific. Recently, she has worked for the IFRC in Switzerland on the global COVID-19 response.

International Delegates are trained technical experts who provide humanitarian assistance and contribute to saving lives, alleviating suffering and maintaining human dignity in conflict and disaster zones.
