Vaitupu Water Gallery Project Update 🌊

The Vaitupu Water Gallery is now one of the major activities under the Strengthening Water Resilience Project led by the Climate Change Department. We’re excited to share that the project is about 75% complete!

✅ A 2.4 km pipeline has been laid from the overhead tank to Tolise Primary School, with only a few joints left to finish.

✅ Overhead tanks (installed at 8 metres high) are in place, and plumbing work is underway to connect the well pump.

✅ A water‑storage cistern has been built at Tolise Primary School to ensure a reliable supply during drought periods.

🔜 Next Steps:

- Testing water flow and quality from the tanks to Tolise Primary School.
- Monitoring the pipeline for any leakages.

This project is a big step toward building water resilience for our schools and communities. 💧

We sincerely thank our donors and stakeholders for their continued support — your contributions are making a lasting impact for the Vaitupu Community.

Reflecting on the Completion of the Nukufetau Water Cistern 💧

Last year, we proudly completed the Nukufetau Water Cistern, an important milestone towards strengthening water security and climate resilience for the Nukufetau community.
We sincerely acknowledge and thank the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) for its generous support and partnership in making this project possible.
Our appreciation also goes to The Pacific Community (SPC) for their valuable support and collaboration, as well as the Public Works Department (PWD) and the Climate Change Department/Strengthening Water Resilience Project team for their technical support, coordination, and commitment throughout the implementation.
Most importantly, we extend our deepest appreciation to the Nukufetau community for their hard work, cooperation, and determination. Despite challenges, particularly with labour and the difficulties of working in an outer-island setting, the community came together and helped ensure that the project was successfully completed.
This cistern is more than infrastructure—it is an investment in water security, community resilience, and the wellbeing of the people of Nukufetau.
Fakafetai lasi to everyone who contributed to making this achievement possible. Together, we continue to build a more water-secure and climate-resilient Tuvalu.
