GGP Follow-up Visit to Belau Modekngei School

On March 6, 2026, the Grassroots Human Security Projects (GGP) Coordinator of the Embassy of Japan visited Belau Modekngei School and met with Mr. Yuri Henry, a teacher at the school, and Mr. Suzuki Satoshi, a JICA volunteer. The visit was conducted as a part of the second-year follow-up to “The Project for Constructing a Science Laboratory in Belau Modekngei School.”
 
Through the Government of Japan’s GGP, Belau Modekngei school received a newly constructed science laboratory, and related equipment and tools for scientific laboratory experiments on February 6, 2024, with a total grant of USD 49,258.
 
Before the project, the school had no science laboratory, and students had few chances to do physics and chemistry experiments. The new science laboratory, constructed adjacent to the existing school building, and equipment and tools provided, has created an environment where students can conduct experiments more safely and confidently. This has enabled students to enhance their scientific and mathematical abilities and broaden their future career options.
The laboratory continues to support students’ learning and is expected to contribute to the overall improvement of the science education environment for future students and teachers.
 
Japan’s GGP was launched in Palau in 1999 to address grassroots development needs, including education, healthcare, and community welfare. This project marks the 89^th of the 105 GGP projects implemented in Palau.
