[Timor-Leste] - Kiwa PRESERVE Project Launching - Novo Turismo, Dili

WaterAid Timor-Leste, with support from the Kiwa Initiative and in partnership with Live & Learn and Permatil Global, will implement the Kiwa PRESERVE Regional Project (Pacific Resilience through Secure Livelihoods, Ecosystem and Resource Management, Valued Culture and Equity) in Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea, and Samoa.

In Timor-Leste, the project will be implemented in selected communities within the Caraulun watershed in Manufahi Municipality, including Daisua, Rotuto, Grotu, and Betano villages. The project aims to strengthen climate resilience through Nature-based Solutions (NbS), focusing on water security, ecosystem protection, sustainable livelihoods, and community resilience.

To officially introduce the project and strengthen collaboration among stakeholders, WaterAid Timor-Leste will organize the official launch of the Kiwa PRESERVE Project on 26 June 2026 in Novo Turismo, Dili.
