Jewellery making workshop

Sistas Savve had a very special workshop recently with Lisa Hilli from the Pacific Women's Weaving Circle. Lisa visited Honiara for the Festival of Pacific Arts and, while in town, facilitated a jewellery making workshop for graduates from MB4 and Mamana Water. Those who attended learnt how to make gorgeous bracelets and earrings, which they then sold at the Trade Fair. More on that to follow!

Sistas Savve is a two year project aiming to improve the health, economic and social status of young women in Honiara. It is a partnership between Solomon Islands Planned Parenthood Association (SIPPA), Solomon Islands Young Women’s Christian Association (YWCA-SI) and Family Planning International New Zealand, and is funded by the New Zealand Aid Programme.

By providing a range of informal education opportunities, the young women will develop skills and knowledge that will enable them to earn a livelihood and develop leadership, reproductive health, nutrition, and parenting skills. Over two years, Sistas Savve will provide opportunities to 120 young women, their families and communities.
