The project proposal is to construct a new water cistern of the following dimensions - 8 meters (length) x 5 meters (width) x 3 meters (height), next to the new chapel that the NBA will be building at Omago, Namo settlement on the island of Niutao.

The water cistern will serve as a rainwater catchment utilizing the roofing of the new chapel. It will become an additional source of rainwater supply primarily for the members of the NBA and also the island community of Niutao at large, especially at time of drought when water supply is extremely scarce. The funding sought will be directed at the procurement of materials and their shipment costs to the project site. The NBA and possibly other members of the Niutao community will provide the necessary labor to construct the water cistern as an in-kind contribution. The upkeep and maintenance of the water cistern will be the responsibility of the elders of the NBA, and possibly with some assistance from the Niutao Kaupule.
