YWAM Solomons aims to be self-sustainable as a model for other communities
Food
Our garden provides food for the staff throughout the year. We plant cassava, sweet potatoes, bananas, beans and more. We also have our own piggery and chickens.
Water
On our property we have multiple wells, and one that we feed to our water tower through a solar pump.
Power
Our solar system has become so developed that we now can provide enough solar to charge an electric car! And so, we have imported the first electric car to the Solomon Islands.
Gas
On base we have built a biogas system that creates cooking gas from the waste of our pigs and from garden waste. This gas can also power a generator if needed.
University of the Nations
YWAM Solomons offer courses from the international training institution University of the Nations (UofN) with 600 locations in 160 nations. UofN takes a global, cross-cultural, and flexible training approach.
Enter through the Discipleship Training School (YWAM DTS), a prerequisite for all other courses and is the gateway into the seven Colleges/Faculties and various Centres of the University of the Nations.
Students live in community and share meal times, times of worship and intercession and other spare time activities. Throughout this experience they get to know the Lord and how they have been purposefully created.
Some of what we do
Community Development
Water Well Drilling
We drill wells both manually and with a drilling rig. With our manual well drilling rig we can drill wells down to 21 meter.
PVC Handpumps
For our water well we can efficient PVC water pumps with a simple design that is durable and repairable.
Water Infrastructure
We have delivered full village level infrastructure with tapstands and flowmeters for efficient use of water.
Solar Pumps
We have solar water pumps that can pump your well water mechanically using power from the sun.
Biogas Systems
By using organic waste, our system can produce methane that can be used for cooking gas or to run a generator.
Cement Water Tanks
With different building technologies we build Water Storage Tanks in different sizes from what is locally available and affordable.
