Training supports communities
The workshop participants.
Community artisans from the Solomon Islands are now equipped to start sanitation businesses following a one-day artisan business training workshop held recently in Gizo.
Organised by the Adventist Development and Relief Agency (ADRA) through its National Sanitation Sustainability Plan—funded by UNICEF and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade—the training aimed to empower participants with practical skills to improve local sanitation services and generate income.
UNICEF Water Sanitation and Hygiene specialist Issifu Adama said the training was very important for the participants’ communities, “to support and improve local sanitation services”.
Artisan Fostah Tola expressed his gratitude to UNICEF and ADRA for the training.
“We now have the idea and motivation to begin a sanitation business, especially since our community currently lacks one,” he said.
