SAVE OUR OCEAN  -  PROTECT OUR LAND  -  EMPOWER OUR PEOPLE

ABOUT US

Finafinau is a community service project that emphasizes youth leadership for environmental conservation. The main goal of Finafinau is to live up the English translation, which is to be “resilient” or “steadfast” in promoting environmental advocacy. Our goal is to work collectively with the youth across the island to improve our environment and are working diligently to ensure that we perform to the best of our ability to save our oceans, protect our land, and empower the youth.
