Taba’a, a remote village in North Malaita, is a pretty collection of leaf-houses accessible by a dirt road that occasionally disappears under water and is flanked by a mixture of rainforest, coconut trees and mangroves.
Like many villages in North Malaita, diseases such as malaria and diarrhoea are endemic. Taba’a is one of the North Malaita and Guadalcanal Weather Coast villages chosen for the Australian Red Cross Health Awareness Project.
