Siumu Women’s Committee thinking of the future

It is for this reason that they have completed the first of its two-phase USD10,000 project funded by UNDP GEF-Small Grants Programme, which is in line with the United Nations SDG14: Conserve and sustainably use the oceans, seas and marine resources for sustainable development.

The project supports concerted environmental efforts by the village to preserve its spring pools, which have served many generations in Siumu. The pools also provide Siumu residents with water for drinking, washing and bathing.
