The Honourable Minister for Infrastructure and Sustainable Energy (HMISE) travelled to Banaba from 19–23 January on board ADV Reliant. The visit was at the invitation of the Australian High Commissioner to Kiribati and was to help deliver important aid to one of Kiribati’s most remote communities.

The trip delivered 400,000 litres of water and important supplies to Banaba. These came from the Kiribati Humanitarian Warehouse, with extra medical supplies from ADV Reliant. The items included water containers, school supplies, relief items, and medical supplies.

The Minister gave the supplies directly to the schools and the people of Banaba. This help was very important because Banaba is far away and has limited water. The water delivery helped the community and reduced pressure on the island’s desalination plant for a short time.

The Government of Kiribati says thank you to all partners and donors who helped make this trip possible, especially the Australian High Commission in Tarawa. Their support has greatly helped and improved the lives of the people of Banaba.
