Welcome to Toak Village, the heart of Southeast Ambrym Island. As the largest village in the region, Toak is a vibrant community brimming with tradition and the spirit of unity. Our village is renowned for its six communal nakamals — Tounamel, Savuli, Etong, Behosreli, Teamsuse, and Teamvut — each with its own unique story and place in our social tapestry.

Boasting a population of over 500 people, Toak Village is a community pulsating with life and culture. Despite the allure of urban centers like Port Vila and Santo, which have drawn many of our residents in search of employment opportunities, the heart of Toak beats strong with those who choose to stay and maintain the traditional way of life.

Subsistence farming and fishing aren’t just occupations in Toak; they are the pillars of our existence and a testament to our self-sufficiency. Our fertile land and the bountiful sea are our sources of sustenance, shaping a lifestyle deeply connected with nature.

In recent years, we have embarked on a journey of transformation. Led by visionary locals, Toak is fostering a cooperative movement designed to uplift our community. This initiative is more than an economic endeavor; it’s a renaissance of our collective soul, a means to bind our people closer together while enhancing the quality of life across Toak Village.

We have a vision for Toak — one where the wellbeing of every villager is uplifted through collaborative projects. These endeavors span from agricultural innovation to sustainable fishing, from educational programs to cultural preservation. Every project is a step towards a future where tradition and progress walk hand in hand.

Toak Village is not just a place; it’s a living, breathing community. It’s a tapestry of lives interwoven with the threads of kinship, tradition, and a shared dream of a prosperous future. We invite you to explore our story, engage with our community, and witness the dawn of a new era in Toak Village, where every day is a promise of growth, unity, and harmony.
