ABOUT THE KATIET VILLAGE PROJECT

The Katiet Village Project is about pioneering future community development projects.   Before these projects can then be rolled out to all SurfAid target villages they need to be tested and refined. 
Katiet village will serve as a testing ground and in the future as a training center for village leaders from around the islands.
