More Information About this Project

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

The descendants of the Bounty mutineers on tiny, isolated Pitcairn, midway between Panama and New Zealand in the south Pacific Ocean, must grow their own food. Fish is the main protein source of their diet. They must put to sea to fish part of at least one day a week. Their small boats needed for fishing must be protected from frequent storms. Every one of the 50 persons on Pitcairn will directly benefit from construction of a new boat shed to replace the currently deteriorated one.

Activities

With supplies transported more than 3,500 miles to the island from New Zealand the hard-working Pitcairners will construct the boat shed and a concrete retaining wall to protect it from mud slides. All on the island will work on the project.
