A European Union and World Vision team successfully visited project sites in Small Ngella last week.
The team included EU Ambassador to the Pacific and Solomon Islands His Excellency Sujiro Seam.
The two-day visit from 6th to 7th June was very informative as the team dialogued with community members to hear the project’s impacts on their lives.
On the first day, the team visited Mburungia and Longapolo. At Mburungia, HE Sujiro and WVSI Operations Manager Irene Marbun handed the community a fish storage facility, while at Longapolo, the team witnessed the Saving club conduct a saving meeting using World Vision’s Saving for Transformation (S4T) model.
The team also made a courtesy call to the Central Islands Province Premier office.
On the final day, the team was privileged to observe the Mothers Union, a key implementing partner of the project, conduct positive parenting training at Tavulea Community for facilitators.
The knowledge through the training would enable the facilitators to conduct similar training for parents in their communities.
Through EU support, World Vision Solomon Islands (WVSI) is implementing a Central Islands Province Livelihoods Improvement Project (CLIP).
The project’s goal is to sustain economic and social resilience to the impact of COVID-19 and improve the well-being of families.
The project is implemented in ten communities in Small Ngella, with a population of approximately 3,701.
