LION HEART Company Limited is offering its Iron Sheet Making Machine for free to assist the Ministry of Development Planning and Aid Coordination (MDPAC) in its project allocated for North Malaita Constituency.
Lion Heart Company Ltd will spend the next few weeks cutting a total 36 rolls of corrugated sheets as part of their support towards the project.
In an interview with this paper, Team Leader of Malaita Projects Ms Agnes Tahnihorara said MDPAC is happy with Lion Heart Management’s support towards the implementation of the project.
She explained that the project is part of Solomon Islands Government programme through the Rural Development project, which is implemented by MDPAC.
Ms Tahnihorara adds that Lion Heart is an active partner of the Ministry in its effort to fully execute the projects in Malaita province, especially North Malaita Constituency.
She said the whole project is controlled and facilitated by the Ministry with the help of Lion Heart.
“Lion Heart will provide us with materials needed for the project and the ministry will help to implement the projects,” Ms Tahnihorara explained.
She said distribution of the materials will be made as long as Lion Heart team completes the cutting of the corrugated iron sheets.
Ms Tahnihorara stressed that the partnership sets a fine example of limiting expenses with more materials for the project.
She adds that it is better to establish partnership with locals for cheaper rates than buying material from suppliers in Honiara.
“Such partnership is not only for the good of the project but also promotes and enhances locally owned business to be successful in the country,” Ms Tahnihorara said.
