Kiribati's Minister for Finance and Economic Development, Teuea Toatu, says the Green Climate Fund is providing $US28 million dollars for the country's biggest ever water project.
Dr Toatu told Radio Kiribati this project will be the beginning of a process to transform the islands and help the people build resilience to the impacts of climate change.
It comes at a time when the main South Tarawa water source, the Bonriki groundwater lens, is already significantly under stress which will worsen with the impacts of climate change.
