πŸ‡³πŸ‡ΏπŸ€πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡§ Supporting Youth, Strengthening Communities in Malaita

The New Zealand High Commission was proud to join Malaita Provincial Government and partners in Auki to mark the launch of Phase 2 of the WOVEN Programme implemented by World Vision Solomon Islands.

Funded by the New Zealand Government, this five-year initiative will empower young people, support entrepreneurship, and strengthen child protection systems in 20 communities across Malaita β€” helping create safer, more resilient communities where children and youth can thrive.

We’re excited to continue working alongside local partners and communities to invest in the next generation of leaders.

πŸ’§πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ New WASH Facilities Transform Learning at Vavalu Primary πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡§

New Zealand is proud to celebrate the handover of new Water, Sanitation and Hygiene (WASH) facilities at Vavalu Primary School in Central Guadalcanal. New Zealand’s funding for WASH in schools is provided through UNICEF and works closely with partners MEHRD and Guadalcanal Province.

Officially opened by Guadalcanal Province Premier Hon Willie Atu and MEHRD, UNICEF and NZ High Commission representatives on World Menstrual Hygiene Day (28 May 2026), these facilities are already making a difference for over 200 students and teachers β€” providing safe drinking water, improved sanitation, and proper improved handwashing facilities.

We’re delighted to support healthier, safer learning environments where students can thrive every day. πŸ«πŸ“šπŸ“–

This will be New Zealand's third FIFA World Cup appearance, following 1982 and 2010.

The All Whites are in Group G alongside Iran, Belgium and Egypt.

While πŸ‡³πŸ‡ΏNew Zealand is often known for rugby, football is actually our biggest participation sport, with around 170,000 players across the country. We were also proud co-hosts of the FIFA Women's World Cup in 2023.

First match: Tuesday 16 June
12:00pm (Solomon Islands time)
New Zealand v Iran

Here at the New Zealand High Commission, we all have our own favourite teams, but we'll definitely be getting behind the All Whites on their World Cup journey.

Good luck, All Whites!

The New Zealand High Commission was pleased to celebrate the handover of a new school administration building at Batuna Rural Training Centre in Marovo, Western Province last week! This project, delivered through New Zealand’s partnership with Caritas Aotearoa New Zealand and SIAVRTCS, is part of ongoing support to strengthen Rural Training Centres across Solomon Islands and expand access to skills training for young people.

The handover highlighted the strong partnership between the Batuna community, the Seventh Day Adventist Church, SIAVRTCS, and πŸ‡³πŸ‡Ώ New Zealand in supporting education and skills development. The new school administration building will support school leaders and staff to strengthen Batuna RTC’s operations and management for improved education delivery. The event was a chance to celebrate not only education, but also faith and community collaboration.
Congratulations to Batuna RTC and all those involved in making this achievement possible!

πŸ‡³πŸ‡ΏπŸ€πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡§ Celebrating Temotu Province Second Appointed Day πŸŽ‰

The New Zealand High Commission extends its warmest congratulations to the people of Temotu Province as you mark your Second Appointed Day.
This is a time to celebrate Temotu’s unique identity, rich cultural heritage, and the strength and resilience of its communities. We join you in celebrating the progress made and the aspirations you hold for a prosperous and sustainable future.

New Zealand values its connection and partnership with Temotu Province. We are proud to stand alongside you. The progress being made across the province reflects strong local leadership and community commitment, and we are pleased to support this through partnerships that respond to Temotu’s priorities, including education, climate resilience, livelihoods, and service delivery.
Through the Local Climate Adaptive Living (LoCAL) programme, Temotu Province is leading locally driven climate adaptation efforts, including coastal protection and improved water systems, with support from the Solomon Islands Government, UNCDF, the European Union, and New Zealand.

Communities in Temotu are also working to improve access to safe and reliable water through the rehabilitation of the Graciosa Bay water system. This work, led locally by Grenergy Pacific with support from ChildFund New Zealand, will benefit 18 villages while also strengthening community skills and climate resilience. ChildFund New Zealand is also working with young people and Temotu Youth Council to expand youth leadership and entrepreneurship.
In Nifiloli, communities are taking forward the EMPOWER project to strengthen livelihoods and respond to climate risks, supported through the KIWA Initiative and a range of international partners.

Temotu Province is also playing a key role in shaping marine spatial planning, helping to guide how ocean resources are protected and used for future generations. We are pleased to support some of this through our CaBSmart MSP partnership with the Solomon Islands Government to strengthen climate and biodiversity outcomes.
The Waka fo Edukeison partnership will also support education delivery across Temotu Province through funding, training and mentoring, with support from the Ministry of Education and Human Resources Development.
Luesalo Rural Training Centre is also being supported with new school infrastructure and training opportunities, in partnership with from Caritas Aotearoa and the Solomon Islands Association of Vocational Rural Training Centres (SIAVRTCS).

We wish everyone in Temotu a joyful and meaningful celebration. May this day inspire continued growth, cooperation, and opportunity for generations to come.
Happy Second Appointed Day, Temotu Province! πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰
