Fanapi, [fan-ah-pee], literally translated ”lands of the sand” is the Chuukese name for all the low-lying outer islands located beyond the Chuuk lagoon. This website was built to support the movement to start a non-governmental organization (NGO) called Fanapi Center that will be locally based, locally chartered, locally led, and locally supported with the goal of centralizing the services for people from the outer islands specifically the Northwest regions of Chuuk State, Federated States of Micronesia.
