Jennifer runs the Mele Botanical Gardens on Efate in Vanuatu. Her business and all her employees depend on a steady stream of tourists from Vanuatu’s main airport – Bauerfield International Airport.

The World Bank has supported the government of Vanuatu with a US$73.9 million project that has provided much needed repair and rehabilitation for Vanuatu’s three main airports.

Air transport serves as a connection for Vanuatu to the world but also ensures Jennifer and her employees are able to continue to work and support their families.
