    Story

    More than 250,000 people in the Fiji islands live in poverty and many more live on or just above the poverty line. With a population dispersed over multiple islands, efficient delivery of health care, education and other social services is incredibly difficult. Fijian communities, especially those in rural area suffer the most extreme consequences of this poverty.

    Many schools are in poor condition and devoid of basic materials. Poverty forces many children to drop out of education and many do not continue beyond primary school level. There is a very limited access to kindergarten schools and educational programmes for pre-school infants. Away from the classroom, there is a severe lack of extracurricular activities. Children in rural communities are often forced into a future of limited education and opportunity. Children, especially in the outer islands have no access to sporting clubs, sports equipment or resources, and a lack of sports structure and development within schools and communities.

    I and group of volunteers are heading out to Fiji for 4 weeks in July, to help establish kindergarten schools to develop nursery level education, lead health awareness and environmental awareness initiatives, introducing art, music, drama and sports coaching. We will also be supporting education initiatives by assisting primary school teachers, implementing new ideas as well as offering one-to-one English lessons within the village to children and young adults in the community.

    With the help of your donations you will be helping to invest in Fiji's youth; increasing opportunities for future generations of Fijian children by facilitating access to improved infrastructure, education, training and healthcare support.
