Toroa Village, on the coast of the the island of Makira, is very isolated with no roads and limited communication. 5 years ago the people of Toroa built a Community Learning Centre with the help of a kiwi, Andy Alderson from Pakuranga. Block courses are run at the Centre in rural development skills such as outboard maintenance, sewing, and carpentry. To extend and improve it's educational training programmes a work team from NZ installed a solar power system in Jan 2015.

Further work is needed to maintain the building by replacing the first floor, and improve communications by installing a radio transceiver.

Funding is needed to purchase the floor materials and radio equipment and subsidise the costs of sending a work team to Toroa.

About us

We work with Toroa Village, Solomon Islands, to support their Community Learning Centre. In January 2015 we sent a team of 4 people from NZ to work alongside the village people. We need to send another work team to replace the first floor and carry out other urgent maintenance.

Donations will go 100% to this project.
