Supporting communities with safe water when it matters most.

We are grateful to see this important support reaching families and communities in Western Province affected by Tropical Cyclone Maila.

Through the Australian Humanitarian Partnership, World Vision Solomon Islands, together with ADRA Solomon Islands, is helping communities access safer drinking water through water filtration buckets and improved rainwater harvesting systems.

Every bucket, every water tank, and every effort contributes to a stronger recovery.

Safe Water. Healthier Communities. Stronger Recovery.

Access to menstrual hygiene products remains a challenge for many girls in remote communities, affecting their confidence, dignity, and school attendance. To help address this, World Vision Solomon Islands (WVSI), through the School Health and Hygiene Project - Phase 4, provided sanitary hygiene kits to female students at Turarana Community High School in remote Guadalcanal.
Each kit contains a bath soap, three packs of sanitary pads, a menstrual cycle calendar, and three pairs of underwear, helping girls manage their menstrual health safely and confidently while staying focused on their education.
"The students lived far from town; the school is located in a remote place. The project will relieve students from having to pay for sanitary pads, which are too costly for them. It will also help prevent absenteeism, while giving girls greater confidence and dignity to manage their menstrual health at school," said Madam Crystal Alisa Lyndon.
The initiative is being implemented in Lambi, Ngalimuata, Turarana, and Ghaobata Community High Schools across Guadalcanal Province.
Funded by NBSI-Trust, the project reflects World Vision Solomon Island’s commitment to ensuring every girl has the opportunity to learn, thrive, and reach her full potential by supporting menstrual health, dignity, and equal access to education.

When the rain comes, a family’s future can change in a moment.
- A failed harvest.
- A damaged home.
- A lost income.
- A difficult decision about what comes next.
For families in Solomon Islands, climate shocks can quickly become financial shocks.
But being prepared can change the story.
Knowledge can change the way families prepare for the unexpected. Through Financial Literacy and Insurance Awareness Training, communities are learning how to save, plan, manage income, and protect themselves against unexpected shocks—turning knowledge into confidence and vulnerability into greater resilience.
Because sometimes, the strongest protection isn’t what we have after a disaster.
It’s what we learn before it comes.
From climate shocks to financial security — building resilience starts with knowledge.

Catherine knows what climate change looks like.
She has seen its impacts on food gardens, schools, communities and the places children call home.
For many children in Solomon Islands, climate change is not a distant issue discussed at international conferences. It is part of their everyday reality.
Now, Catherine is preparing to take those experiences beyond Solomon Islands.
At the Klaemet Tok Stori from Pikinini, Catherine stepped forward to hand over the Children’s Climate Declaration on behalf of 21 child delegates from Makira, Malaita and Honiara to the government representatives.
Her message captured the reality facing many children:
“We didn’t cause this climate crisis, but we’re the ones watching the sea swallow our food gardens and flood our classrooms.”
Now, Catherine will carry the children’s message to COP31 in Türkiye in November 2026.
She will take with her four powerful truths:
- Children are already living with climate change.
- Children have solutions.
- Children deserve a voice in decisions about their future.
- Children want to be treated as partners, not helpless victims.
Her journey is more than one child travelling to an international climate conference.
She is carrying the hopes, experiences and determination of 21 children, and countless others across the Pacific who deserve to be heard.
From Solomon Islands to the global climate stage, Catherine’s message is simple:
Our future matters.
Our voices matter.
And we deserve a seat at the table.

“𝐋𝐢𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐮𝐬. 𝐎𝐮𝐫 𝐟𝐮𝐭𝐮𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐚𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞.”

That was the powerful message from 21 children from Makira, Malaita and Honiara who came together on 1–2 September 2026 at Heritage Park Hotel, Honiara, for Klaemet Tok Stori from Pikinini.
For two days, the children shared what climate change means in their everyday lives—from rising seas and flooded classrooms to disappearing food gardens, water insecurity and the loss of ancestral lands.
But they did more than share their experiences.
They put forward solutions. They demanded action. And they called on decision-makers to listen.
Supported by and engaging with representatives from the Ministry of Environment, Climate Change, Disaster Management and Meteorology (MECDM), the Ministry of Women, Youth, Children and Family Affairs (MWYCFA), the New Zealand High Commission to Solomon Islands, the Australian High Commission to Solomon Islands, the Solomon Islands Climate Action Network (SICAN), and Save the Children, the children presented a five-point climate mandate calling for:
- Greater investment in climate adaptation
- Protection of communities from climate impacts
- Stronger action against deforestation
- Accessible climate finance for communities
- A permanent place for children in climate decision-making
Their message is clear:
Children are not helpless victims of climate change. They are partners, leaders and solution-makers.
Their declaration now carries the collective voice of children from across Solomon Islands—calling for climate action that recognises their rights, protects their communities and gives them a meaningful place in decisions about their future.
Will we listen?
Will we act?
Listen to children. Protect their future. Act now.

Last week, World Vision Solomon Islands brought together staff from the Honiara Country Program Office and Provincial Area Program offices for a meaningful and energizing WVSI Staff Week 2026, held from 16–21 August at Aruligo, North West Guadalcanal.
Guided by the theme “Strengthening Our Foundation, Shaping Our Direction,” the week was more than a gathering. It was a powerful reminder of who we are, why we serve, and the difference we can make when we move forward together with a shared vision and purpose.
Through sessions on security and emergency preparedness, mental resilience, gender security, first aid, Our Promise 2030, Bold Hope, localization, listening to the voices of children, compliance, and donor requirements, staff strengthened their knowledge and skills while keeping the well-being of vulnerable children and communities at the heart of every discussion.
Importantly, Staff Week created a safe and open space for listening and learning. Staff shared their experiences, challenges, ideas, and aspirations, contributing valuable insights on localization, staffing, fleet and asset management, and future priorities for the organization. These conversations reflected our commitment to continuous improvement and collective ownership of our mission.
WVSI National Director Asuntha Charles acknowledged and responded to staff contributions, reinforcing the importance of listening to one another, learning from every voice, and working together as one united team. The discussions highlighted that our greatest strength lies not only in our programs, but in our people.
Beyond the learning sessions, relationships were strengthened through sports, fellowship, prayer, and cultural celebrations. Colleagues from different programs and provinces came together as one WVSI family, celebrating diversity, building trust, and creating lasting connections.
As we return to our communities and programs, we do so with renewed energy, stronger partnerships, and a deeper commitment to our shared calling. Together, we remain dedicated to creating lasting change and bringing hope, opportunity, and transformation to the most vulnerable children and communities across Solomon Islands.
When we strengthen our foundation and shape our direction together, we become a stronger force for hope, impact, and lasting change.
One team. One purpose. One shared direction.
