CAUSE II Completes Safe Access Improvement at Gizo Community High School

GIZO, Western Province – A NEWLY completed drain crossing at Gizo Community High School is providing safer and improved access for students, staff and nearby residential communities in Gizo, Western Province.

The sub-project, delivered under the CAUSE II Project, involved the construction of a drain crossing through a 20-day community contract undertaken by a group of eight members, supporting local participation while addressing an important access need within the school community.

The completed crossing directly benefits students and staff of Gizo Community High School and the nearby primary school. It also improves access for an estimated 345 households in the Tophill, TC and Babylon residential areas, while providing a safer access ramp for the delivery of school logistics to the nearby storage facility.

The completed infrastructure is part of CAUSE II's ongoing investment in small-scale, community-focused infrastructure aimed at improving everyday access, safety and essential services for communities across Solomon Islands.

Implemented by the Solomon Islands Government, the CAUSE II Project is supported by the World Bank and the Australian Government through the PNG and Pacific Islands Umbrella Facility Multi-Donor Trust Fund.
