The People’s Republic of China (PRC) has supported the Anopala community in the Small Malaita Constituency with a sea transportation project.

The assistance is mainly to improve sea transportation for the Anopala community and surrounding areas after they have faced issues and challenges with transportation in accessing health and education services. 

According to a media release from the Ministry of Rural Development, the project assistance includes $100,000, a 40-horsepower outboard motor engine, and a 23-ft ray boat. 

Anopala community representative, Peter Ha’alau, thanks their Small Malaita Constituency office and Member of Parliament, Rick Hou, for selecting his community as the recipient of this important project.

He also voiced his gratitude to the Government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) for its generous funding.

“It is a meaningful contribution that will bring immense benefits not only to my people of the Anopala community but also to the people of Small Malaita,” he said. 

Meanwhile, the Small Malaita Constituency Office has expressed its heartfelt gratitude to the Government of the People’s Republic of China (PRC) for its generous financial support. 

“This timely assistance will significantly improve access to safe and reliable sea transport for our people, especially the Anopala community and surrounding communities at Malou Port,” he said. 

The transportation project was funded under the Chinese Embassy’s Small & Sustainable Development Project.
