Regular community clean-ups are about much more than just picking up litter, they are a powerful step toward building a healthier, more beautiful, and more prosperous future for Kiribati. Staff from the Ministry of Fisheries and Ocean Resources (MFOR) are committed to turning this vision into reality. Friday, 20 Feb, 2026 they took action by cleaning the roadside along the Teaoraereke–Nanikaai causeway, an area once heavily littered by residents and motorists. This marks the beginning of a broader effort, with more sites to be included in future clean-ups. MFOR kindly urges all people and motorists on South Tarawa to help keep this area clean by disposing of their rubbish responsibly and holding onto their waste while travelling. This initiative supports the government’s wider campaign to transform South Tarawa, and Kiribati as a whole, into one of the most desirable and clean countries in the Pacific.
