Mothers’ Union of the Anglican Church of Melanesia (ACOM) in West Kwara’ae constituency, Malaita Province had taken delivery of new three-tonne vehicle this week.
This was made possible by the Office of West Kwara’ae constituency.
The handing over took place at Dala North in Malaita on Wednesday.
The vehicle, which cost tax payers around SBD 318,000, is part of the constituency’s ongoing commitment to developing the region and supporting its people, especially women and the Mothers’ Union.
This delivery aims to enhance the organization’s charitable mission work across the constituency.
It is the first time that West Kwara’ae constituency has delivered such a project to the Mothers Union and the Anglican Diocese of Malaita.
The delivery was facilitated by West Kwara’ae constituency development officer Hubert Lakofi and accountant officer Nicolas Laua, with the event witnessed by the Diocese of Malaita Mission Secretary Fr. Stanbul Kuru, Central Region Mothers’ Union Regional Leader Lovely John, Diocese of Malaita Mothers’ Union President Mrs. Delila Lamani, and other members of the Mothers’ Union in the Central Region.
Anglican Diocese of Malaita Mothers’ Union President Delila Lamani expressed that the new vehicle was a “dream come true” for members of the Mothers’ Union in the Central Region.
“This truck will be vital for mission work in the region and diocese as a whole, especially for the mothers.
“It symbolizes our dedication and pride, helping to enhance efficient operations and reach out to families in need across the region.” Mrs Lamani said.
She added that the vehicle would also help the organization carry out its mission work more efficiently, particularly in remote areas.
Not only that but it would save cost when they want to move around and do their activities.
“This vehicle will allow us to provide better care, increase efficiency, and expand our services across the region and diocese.”
Mrs. Lamani also extended her gratitude to the West Kwara’ae constituency and the national government for their support to the Mothers’ Union in the region.
“Thank you for your dedication to promoting the well-being of families and strengthening Christian family life,” she said.
Speaking on behalf of the West Kwara’ae constituency, accountant officer Nicolas Laua highlighted the importance of supporting women in the constituency.
He explained that this project sets a precedent for future initiatives to encourage hard work in serving the constituency.
“The role women play in development is crucial in West Kwara’ae,” Laua said.
“We believe this vehicle will assist the Mothers’ Union in both their spiritual and social work.”
He encouraged the recipients to take good care of the vehicle and continue working together with the constituency.
