In 2009 There were over 650 people in the Solomon Islands with disabilities. Many of these people were unable to use the toilet facilities due to their disabilities. Franciscan Aid was able to send funds to supply suitable toilets for many disabled people and their families.

The First Order Brothers applied to Franciscan Aid for funds to supply tree saplings to re-forest as area of mountainside that has become deforested through slash and burn agricultural methods. This was to be both an environmental improvement but also an educational example to other people on the island to show how to care for and protect their land. Solomon Islanders use the slash and burn system of agriculture which destroys the forests. The people use firewood for fuel, thus furthering the destruction. They also use local trees for building houses. Deforestation on this volcanic island also leads to severe erosion and thus soil loss, lack of fertility and, eventually, food shortages. When the trees planted in this project are mature, they can be used for house building and firewood.  All the clearing of the land, marking and planting would be done by voluntary labour.

In 2017, Bishop John Coleridge Patteson College, Luesalemba is the only premier secondary school in Temotu Province. It is owned by the Anglican Church of Melanesia, Diocese of Temotu. The College applied to Franciscan Aid to help fund Laptop computers to set up a Computer Lab where students can connect directly from the University of the South Pacific internet saver, in Suva, Fiji which offers Form 7 courses and assist in setting up the Science Lab ready for the introduction of Form 7 Science. In 2017, the children of Temotu Province travelled to other islands or the capital of Solomon Islands, Honiara, to acquire Forms 6&7 education, which was very expensive as Temotu Province is naturally geographically isolated from the rest of the Solomon Islands
