The Small Malaita Constituency
Office has commended the People’s Republic of China’s
Embassy in Honiara for its continued support of community
development in Solomon Islands, after receiving SBD100,000
in grant assistance under the Embassy’s Small and
Sustainable Development Project Fund, marking another
milestone in strengthening rural development and improving
community livelihoods.
The funding will go towards the
purchase of two boats and one engine, for AIAU Association
from Tawaro village and a family of seven sisters from
Fanalei village.
The project aims to improve sea
transportation, giving rural communities safer and more
reliable access to markets, health services, schools, and
other essential services.
Constituency Development
Officer (CDO) Brown Honimae expressed his sincere
appreciation to the Government of the People’s Republic of
China for their continued support of community development
in Small Malaita and Solomon Islands as a
whole.
Honimae said the assistance reflects the strong
partnership and enduring friendship between Solomon Islands
and the People’s Republic of China, with tangible benefits
reaching rural communities.
“This funding will
directly improve the lives of our people by providing a
reliable means of sea transportation. For many of our rural
communities, boats are not a luxury but a necessity,
connecting people to essential services and economic
opportunities,” Honimae said.
He added that the
constituency remains committed to ensuring development
assistance is channelled through a fair and transparent
process, directed toward projects with a lasting, meaningful
impact on people’s lives.
