In urban areas of Vanuatu, extended networks are usually based on kinship ties among individuals originating from the same island or village. Various urban informal settlements around Port Vila and Lauganville tend to be inhabited by migrants from the same island of origin (WB, 2006c). Migrant families and relatives living overseas provide cash and in-kind support periodically to friends and relatives residing abroad as well as in their home country. Wantok association exists abroad as well. An example of such association would be the Solomon Islands Wantok Association in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland.5 There are a number of diaspora associations which currently exist overseas.
