Six 10,000L cisterns water tanks for the people on Niuafo'ou, the remote outer island in northern Tonga, were transported on the MV Koe Kelesi Pe, on 14 December.
 
Civil Society Forum of Tonga (CSFT) sent the water tanks along with 20 emergency kits and 18 cement bags.

These gifts will be distrubuted to the three communities of ‘Esia, Fata’ulua and Petani, each receiving two tanks, two stands, and associated plumbing. The installation is expected to be completed by the end of the month.

A donation of USD11,400 ($26,000 pa’anga) for the procurement and transportation of the goods, came from the Friends of Tonga (FOT) based in the United States. They consist of returned Peace Corps, who have spent time working in Tonga as volunteers. 

FOT is a partner of the CSFT and a member of the F.A.L.E. (Facility Aiding Locally-led Engagement) Hub, a CSO humanitarian entity.
