YWAM SOLOMONS SUPPORT
Supporting the work of YWAM Solomon Islands
EQUIPPING
YWAM Solomons are training the next generation in the Solomon Islands to lead the nation into a sustainable future. We focus on personal growth and practical appropriate technology tools.
COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
We are an important participant in the development of the Solomons with a high success rate. By working 100% volunteraly ourselves, we get help from the village more easily, which builds local ownership.
SAILBOAT VISION
We have a vision to reach out broader in the Solomons and beyond with practical aid. We are currently purchasing a traditional sailboat from the Philippines and equipping her for use.
YOU CAN HELP!
The Solomon Islands is one of the poorest countries in the Pacific and YWAM Solomons is part of leading this country towards a sustainable future.
