Iron Bottom Sound Hotel

YWCA
The Young Women's Christian Association headquarters for Honiara are based in Town Ground. In 1978 a Solomon Islands chapter of the Young Women's Christian Association (YWCA) was established to address the specific needs of young women through developing personal growth and addressing various women's questions. The YWCA runs classes on sewing, cooking, and other home economics subjects demanded by women, complementing the work performed in these areas by the churches and the WDD. However, the YWCA has moved a step beyond this traditional focus in addressing some of the fundamental issues affecting women's lives. These include environmental matters, providing accommodation for young girls, and establishing a kindergarten. The Association recently undertook a new micro-credit scheme for disadvantaged women in Honiara as a government pilot project funded by the United Nations Development Program but the project has collapsed as a result of the political crisis. YWCA SI runs a young women's hostel in Honiara and kindergartens in both Honiara and Munda. Recently, the YWCA SI has also started to run training and programs for young women in leadership, human rights, gender and sexual and reproductive health.

In November 2014 the World YWCA and the YWCA of the Solomon Islands is hosting 30 women from Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands and Samoa for the Pacific skills and leadership training.

In 2011 Solomon Islands YWCA member, Jenta Tau travelled to Geneva to begin a one-year internship with the World YWCA.
