KAWAKI: Women & Conservation in Solomon Islands

We are fundraising for KAWAKI women's group. KAWAKI is a local women’s organization in the Solomon Islands dedicated to marine conservation and turtle protection for the Arnavon Islands. Their mission is to unite women around conservation, culture and community to create a better future for their children and the generations to come. Over the past five years the women have raised the awareness of the importance of conservation to thousands of people in their communities and supported women across Solomon Islands have a voice in conservation. The women work in all weather to attend community meetings and awareness.

This gift will ensure that every woman will have the basic supplies to make travel in some of the most remote areas comfortable: a raincoat a hat and a torch. Small items that will make the world of difference.

We have a Brisbane-based  GO KAWAKI running team and will run the  the Bridget to Brisbane: https://bridgetobrisbane.com.au/ on August 29th 2021. We have nominated KAWAKI as our charity of choice and all funds raised will support the incredible women of KAWAKI Solomon Islands.

Thank you so much for your support.

Robyn and the GO KAWAKI team
