Community members from Unua 4/5 district on the eastern part of Malekula Island participating in the building of a 22,500L ferro-cement tank under the direction of ADRA Vanuatu WASH staff member Mr. Samuel Nalau.

At the end of the project those who have participated in the building of the ferro-cement tanks in the communities that ADRA Vanuatu has worked in have learned the skills needed to be able to go on and build their own ferro-cement tanks at a later date should they wish.
