The North Guadalcanal Constituency (NGC) Office, under the leadership of Honourable Dr. Paul Bosawai, continues to render unwavering support to churches— a commitment that guarantees churches can thrive and serve their congregations effectively.

This commitment is part of the NGC office's ongoing efforts to recognize the vital role that churches play in brining hope, unity, and service within the communities of NGC.

Last month, NGC gave a financial assistance worth $124,000.00 to Christ the King, Tetere Parish Catholic Church.

The funds will be used to expand the Parish Community Hall and Chapel, creating more space for community gatherings, worship, and social activities. This will help strengthen unity and community spirit.

The office also supplied 25 solar-powered security lighting systems to Good Shepherd Cathedral, worth $100,000.00 This initiative aims to improve community safety and security, ensuring a safer environment for parishioners and residents.

Constituency Development Officer (CDO) Simon Ngoli said that these efforts demonstrate the NGC under the leadership of Hon. Dr. Bosawai’s dedication to supporting churches.

“Churches play a vital role in bringing hope, unity, and service to our communities. Therefore, we remain committed to providing resources wherever possible to help them succeed in their mission,” he said.

CDO Ngoli added,“In difficult times, churches are more important than ever as centres of hope and community. They are the pillars of society, and it’s our responsibility to support their work. Our goal is to help churches continue their vital role and reach more people.”

The supports were made possible with funding from the Solomon Islands Government through the Ministry of Rural Development, the Constituency Development Program (CDP), under the NGC office’s 2025 CDF budget allocation, in compliance with Section 26 (2)(d) and (3)(d) of the CDF Act 2023.
