The Maeana community in West Kwaio, Malaita Province thanks Save the Children Solomon Islands (SCSI) for providing them a fulfilling two-day training.
For the community, this training has brought in beneficial insights about violence and about how they can create a safe environment for future generations.
The Save the Children program reached the community and Buma school teachers on Monday, 16 March.
In an interview, Maeana community elder Ervan Bale said the program aims to inform and educate rural communities on how they can support and assist each other when needed.
Bale said about 60 participants attended the program, which took place at the Buma school hall.
He said the two-day program really enlightened them, especially in areas like how they can support and assist rural communities in terms of providing clean water access and proper sanitation.
This week, Save the Children Solomon Islands (SCSI), through the SOLKAS Project, signed a MoU with the Malaita Provincial Government (MPG) to strengthen cooperation in building climate resilience for children, families, and communities across the province.
This partnership reflects a shared commitment to empower communities and strengthen governance systems to address the growing impacts of climate change in Malaita.
The primary objective of Save the Children in the Solomon Islands is to create a safe, healthy, and resilient future for children by enhancing community capacity in disaster risk reduction, climate change adaptation, child protection, and quality education.
Key focus areas include improving food security, water and sanitation (WASH), and youth livelihood initiatives.
