2026/11/9
On 9th November, a milestone handover ceremony was held at Justus Ganihiri Community High School for “the Project for the Construction of School Building at Justus Ganihiri Community High School.” This vital educational infrastructure was funded through the Government of Japan’s Grant Assistance for Grassroots Projects (GGP).
With a grant of 134,661 USD from Japan, a brand-new, two-story building featuring six spacious classrooms and a sanitary facility have been successfully constructed. This project stands as a manifestation of commitment to the shared vision of Japan and Justus Ganihiri Community High School to drastically improve the learning environment and to elevate the quality of education for local children.
In his keynote address, Counsellor NAKASHIMA extended his heartfelt gratitude to everyone who contributed to the project from inception to completion—especially the school principal, teachers, school committee, community leaders, and parents. “Quality basic education is the foundation for a brighter future,” Counsellor NAKASHIMA stated. “A safe and well-equipped classroom environment encourages children to attend school regularly, helps them concentrate, and empowers them to learn with confidence.”
Expressing his gratitude on behalf of the provincial leadership, Hon. Leonard Tuasulia, Minister for Education of the Malaita Provincial Government, emphasized the long-term impact of the project. “We express our deepest gratitude to the Government of Japan for this generous support and commitment,” Hon. Tuasulia shared. “This project is an investment in the future of Malaita's children. It provides a safe and conducive learning environment where our Form Six students can pursue academic excellence and prepare themselves for higher education, employment, and future leadership.”
Mr Eddie Gideon, Education Secretary of the South Sea Evangelical Church (SSEC), also highlighted the transformative role of the new facilities for the youth. “These new classrooms are a vital stepping stone toward greater achievement, better learning outcomes, and a more empowered youth population,” Mr Gideon remarked. “They create an environment where children do not just attend school, but truly thrive.”
The Government of Japan remains firmly committed to supporting sustainable socio-economic development across Solomon Islands, from remote grassroots communities to the national level. Japan’s GGP scheme will continue to fund impactful, community-driven projects proposed by NGOs, schools, hospitals, and local government authorities to address the immediate needs of the people.
