Seven new community infrastructure works under the Government of Solomon Islands’ Community Access and Urban Service Enhancement (CAUSE) project – funded by Australia and the World Bank were opened in Auki by a government delegation and donor partners.
The sites include a new wash block for Aligegeo school, providing new washing areas for over 200 students at the school, an ablution block, isolation ward upgrades and new footpaths at Kilufi Hospital, that will make sanitation and hygiene easier for staff and patients at the hospital while importantly upgrading access to the physiotherapy ward for disabled patients. The sites also include sanitation systems at Auki clinic, and community walkways and Jacob’s Ladders in Kunu and Fulikaomae, providing better access to markets, schools, and jobs for families in the communities.
The delegation met with workers and representatives around Auki and visited the clinics, schools and communities that received the upgrades built by CAUSE workers.
