Apisalome Vulaono of the Narukusara Youth Group says the grant will go towards an income-generating project.
“We are involved in climate change adaptation works, native tree planting plus several income-generating projects, which includes a barbershop.”
Since its inception in 2004, the ATH Foundation has made $30 million in social investment to various groups around the country.
