A women’s group from Funafou Island, Lau Baelelea constituency in Malaita Province appreciate the support they received from their Member of Parliament, Ben Maenuu.
His support has eased their ongoing struggle with the fish marketing business from Malu’u to Auki and from Auki to Honiara.
According to Lau Baelelea constituency media personnel, Eddie Kairi, MP Ben Maenuu supported the Funafou Island women with two freezers and a Bluetti Solar Power system to power the two freezers.
He said the freezers and Bluetti Solar Power system will help ease the struggles the women have encountered during their process of sending back their eskies home and buying ice blocks to store fish at Auki and Malu’u.
“Ben Maenuu donated two freezers and a Bluetti Solar Power System capable of powering the two freezers. This donation is a fishing project for the women of Funafou Island.
“This solar power system will now allow them to preserve their fish more efficiently and reduce costs significantly,” he said.
He said that the small economic activities provided to the women of Funafou Island will help rural mothers generate income, save, and afford their children’s school fees and essential family needs, as well as support human resource development.
The Funafou women’s group acknowledged their MP, Ben Maenuu, for his support and for empowering them and the entire constituency.
