2017 VINE Capacity Building SI

Improving educational outcomes by upgrading infrastructure at Solomon Island primary and secondary schools

VINE Capacity Building SI project has a heart for creating opportunity and developing pathways out of poverty through improved educational outcomes. VINE’s vision includes investment in key infrastructure and learning facilities which, in the long-term, will positively impact the population of almost 700,000.

In partnership with World Relief Australia, VINE will support a wide range of initiatives across various educational institutions which include:

# Provision of a multi-purpose, steel built hall which will measure 40m x 15m x 5m high for Betikama High School, Honiara. This will be the seventh such building erected on educational campuses in recent years.

# Installation of a 150K litre water tank to complete previous investments in a series of 10 catchment tanks and pump station at Jones College on Vella la Vella Island.

# Continue to distribute library books and teaching resources throughout key primary & secondary schools.

# Completion of a dental surgery and two nurses’ dormatories at Atoifi Hospital, Malaita.

# Provision of tertiary education scholarships for key personnel.

# Regular inspection and maintenance / repair of previous projects.

# Designing and helping build a model dormitory for High Schools in the Solomon’s which could be used throughout Melanesia.

# Supporting medical clinics and hospitals with medical supplies where needed.

# Providing new and good used clothing, such as new school uniforms, discarded in Australia because of design changes in uniforms.

+ Plan regular Fly ‘n Builds to support school and hospitals in the Solomon’s.
