The community of Navutoka in Nuku’alofa has received TOP $29,995 towards improving their water supply system to provide their residents with better access to safe drinking water.
The funding was approved by New Zealand High Commissioner, Tiffany Babington.
There are an increasing number of water issues in Navutoka which largely relate to poor water infrastructure and management.
The High Commission said the project aims to improve the health of children and youth through an improved water supply system and by educating youth and children in the community on how to use water wisely.
“The New Zealand High Commission grant will help people, especially children, to have access to clean water, sanitation, and hygiene that leads to healthier and more successful lives. We are grateful for this great assistance provided by the government of New Zealand”. Project Coordinator Faka’osilea Kaufusi commented.
