The main objective of the Catholic Church Leadership (CCL) is to train individuals to become missionaries for the Catholic Church across the country. The program, based in Abemama, recruits married couples from all the islands in Kiribati every two years. As a recipient of the UAF 2020-2022 fund, CCL received internet access and a Wi-Fi extension to support students in their studies. The fund also extended Wi-Fi coverage to the nearby Tekatia Primary School, enabling teachers to download necessary resources and communicate with the headquarters in Tarawa. The UAF covered one year of internet bandwidth and provided a business model to help the school generate income from their Wi-Fi, ensuring they could manage the project independently after one year.
