ULUVEU NUWAI PAVILLION REPORT 2014.

Aim of the Project

The aim of the Project is to get all people to have clean and healthy drinking water To supply clean water for children to take baths

Supply people enough water during drought.

Operation.

The Uluveo Nuwai Project was opened on the 12 of January 2013. Since the opening the whole operating system was all in good progress. We were making 2 litres of water in 1mins, the water tank was really full and at least 50- 60 people especially children were using it once a day.

Bathing soap were supplieq from the soap factory for children to use during their baths.

Benefits

1)             The Uluveo Nuwai Project is benefiting the Fisher Men association and the people of Maskelyne by producing ice cubes from ice making machine and selling them to Fishermen who are buying fish and selling them to Vila. They are making 40 cubes in a week and selling them to the fishermen for 350vt per cube. They are earning a profit of 12000vt per week.

2)              The Uluveo Nuwai system is providing electricity to the only Primary school at Maskelyne.

3)              Also it provides electricity to the builders workshop to build furnitures to help the communities.

4)               It also supply water to yachties’ who visits Maskelynes if needed.

5)             Lastly it assist financially with powers to any meetings held within the nearby village closes to the source when the people of uluveo combine together in an occasion.

Challenges

The pump is operating well but there are also challenges.

1)    As of the 15th of May the salt water pump does not pump in salt water for Desalination

2)     The operator does not really understand more on how the system really operates especially the pump and the desalination plan.

3)     The fisherman association do not pay in their rent of power to make ice cubes in time. The revenue is growing very slowly.

Solution and recommendation .

These are some solution that must be done to solve the challenges.

1)             We need our own clear understanding on how to operate and maintain the desilination plan.

2)              We need our own ice making machine to make enough revenue.

3)              We had another desalination pump sent from Liane on the 21st  of September 2013 which was connected and now it  is working well.

 

With this short report, Iwould like to express my thanks to Liane Farry and the NZCHET for the negotiation for this project which helps a lot in clean water and providing electricity for the people of Uluveo to earn their  living.

l am  enclosing  my  financial  report  for  last  year   2013  and this  year  2014.

The co-operation of the Builders and Manager is very good. And also working committees of the palm project, but sometimes we have some misbehavior with each other, but somehow we short it out in a way that pleases everyone.
