Tonga Country Fund

Three school girls in uniforms sit at their desks and read papers deep in concentration.

Description

Contributions to the Tonga Country Fund support sustainable, community-driven Peace Corps Partnership Program projects in Tonga that are led by Peace Corps Volunteers. With humility and mutual respect, Volunteers, Peace Corps staff, and community partners collaboratively identify locally-prioritized projects that build relationships, promote knowledge exchange, and make lasting impacts. Projects focus on youth development, leadership, environmental awareness and protection, and strengthening education system for all through local schools.

Over the years, contributions to the country fund have been used to support youth leadership development camps, school playgrounds, levelled and culturally contextual learning materials that promote environmental awareness and protection, cultural heritage, improved water systems for schools and communities, and school and community hall roofing renovations to improve water catchment and strengthen resiliency to severe weather systems.
