Friends of Tonga Funds 24 Rainwater Collection Systems for Outer Islands

Friends of Tonga has wired $48,000 USD to the Civil Society Forum of Tonga (CSFT). This money will provide twenty-four rainwater collection systems and cisterns to villages in both ‘Eua and throughout the Ha’apai island group. Each cistern has the capacity of holding up to 10,000 liters (2,642 gallons) of clean drinking water, which will fill a major need for communities that have had limited access to water.
