The Young Entrepreneurs Council Solomon Islands (YECSI) proudly presented the final two awards to their rightful recipients during YECSI’s Breakfast with Sponsors this month.

Apunepara Haamwaora Natural Resource Association (AHNRA) was the recipient of the MAL Provincial Entrepreneur of the Year Award sponsored by the Ministry of Agriculture & Livestock (MAL).

Meanwhile, Otin Tai Company in Wagina in Choiseul Province was the recipient of the MCT Provincial Entrepreneur of the Year Award sponsored by the Ministry of Culture & Tourism (MCT).

Both Associations received their well-deserved recognition in front of their sponsors, partners and supporters.

AHNRA is a community-based organisation from South Malaita, working to protect, utilise and empower local natural resource groups.

Their commitment to sustainable development and community impact earned them this year’s provincial honour.

Otin Tai Company stands as a true pride of Wagina, where their diverse operations include seaweed farming, homestay accommodation, a general store, fuel depot, kava bar, engine repair services, sea-taxi transport and conference space with internet connectivity.

Otin Tai Company is one of the 16 YECSI transition members to the formal space.

Their drive, innovation and service to their community have made them a leading provincial enterprise in the Solomon Islands.

YECSI congratulates AHNRA and Otin Tai Company for their outstanding contributions.
