New Zealand High Commission Fund

The initiative aims to empower young women in the community by teaching them essential cultural activities and self- development skills.

Unemployment, particularly with young women in the community, continues to be high, and this activity will seek to provide the means and inputs that will enable participants to become more productive in cultural activities such as traditional handicraft making, the High Commission said.

The project was submitted by the Secretariat for the National Commission for a Clean Green Tonga in 2019.

It comprised clearing a lookout area at the Tapuhia landfill, building a new secure fence around the area for the safety of visitors, installing and replacing of infographic signs, building a seating area, and purchasing of high visibility vests and masks to be used by visitors when visiting the landfill.

The upgrade has given Tapuhia landfill in Tongatapu a facelift.
