This year’s theme “Water & Gender” underscores the urgent need to recognize and address the disproportionate impact that water scarcity, poor sanitation, and inadequate hygiene services have on women and girls around the world.

 

 

Organized by implementing partner Plan International Australia and Naha CHS the event brought together WASH clubs from five schools which includes Naha CHS, Mt Hored CHS, Global Harvest Christian School, St Mary Tanagai CHS and Emmaus Christian School.

 

The highlights of the celebration includes skirt from Naha CHS based on this year theme, Water Awareness from Solomon Water , quiz and presentation from the participation schools.

Students also had the opportunity to express their experience through presentation, skits, poems and songs emphasizing the importance of water in their daily lives.

 

Solomon Water WASH officer, Georgina Awaohu highlight the importance of water and reminds the students that water is a precious resource in our country — one that must be valued, protected, and never wasted.

“Water is life, so protecting our water sources and catchment is everyone’s responsibility. When we work together to keep them clean and report issues like leakages and illegal connections, we help ensure safe, reliable water for our communities. Strong partnerships makes quality water service possible,” she told the students.

 

As we mark World Water Day, Solomon Water reaffirm its commitment to ensuring that no one is left behind. Achieving universal access to water and sanitation requires a gender-sensitive approach that recognizes the unique challenges faced by women and girls—and actively works to overcome them.
