Women vendors receive umbrellas to protect themselves

Digicel Vanuatu provided 15 umbrellas to women vendors at Manples Market.

The umbrellas will protect the women from the sun and the rain.

The temporary market caters for women from Teouma, Erangorango and other areas around Efate.

On most occasions, the women can be seen selling their produce and crafts while cradling their babies in the sun.

Manples Market is popular because of its location beside the main road and Au Bon Marche.

Fresh produce is available throughout the week.

The market was temporarily relocated to make way for work to be carried out at the old market site.
