Education is a cornerstone of community development, and GMT, alongside our project partner Yagasu, is excited to enhance access to education for the students of Pulau Kampai Village through our Free School Boat initiative. This practical solution is set to bridge the distance between homes and schools, ensuring that 50 students can attend school regularly.

The project kicked off with the boat building contract finalized on January 19th, targeting completion by April 2024. We are looking forward to the boat’s launch, planned for late May or early June 2024. This vessel is more than just transport—it represents hope and progress for the village.

In preparation for the launch, Yagasu will be actively engaging with the village governments and local communities. They plan to hold meetings to discuss how the boat will operate and the positive changes it will bring to the students’ daily commutes.

This initiative is a clear example of how targeted action can make a significant difference in the lives of community members. By removing transportation barriers, we are opening doors to educational opportunities that were once out of reach for many children in Pulau Kampai.

We are proud to be part of this transformative project and are committed to supporting the community every step of the way. By investing in education, we are investing in a brighter future for all.
