Families need support to help youth thrive. As part of our commitment to working with families in Betio, our team visits houses to share valuable information about budgeting and financial planning, nutrition, positive parenting, water testing, sanitation and hygiene and how to keep children safe and healthy.
Our work includes testing drinking water for any signs of E. coli and coliform bacteria. Additionally, we hand out pamphlets on How to Safely and Cleanly Drink Water, which includes ways to store water in a safe container.
Read about Kiribati’s first World Children’s Day and about some of our initiatives below.
