CREATING SUSTAINABLE COMMUNITIES - Fiji

One of our primary goals is to secure a freshwater supply for all 27 villages in this region. This is being accomplished through construction projects and local education. Seasonal rainfall and a lack of natural reservoirs are responsible for drinking water shortages and we aim to implement and promote alternative water sources and income generation initiatives. Our goal is aligned to the World Health Organisation’s Millennium Development Goal of “all people having access to 5 litres of drinking water per person per day”.

​

As a participant, you’ll also be helping to construct vegetable gardens, assisting in introducing diversity in crop planting, and building an awareness of the need for crop rotation. You’ll also be assisting in establishing chicken coops in the villages with a view to egg production supplementing the diets of the villagers, and perhaps increasing production with a view to selling eggs to the local resorts. It’s about working towards sustainability.

 

FRESH WATER SUSTAINABILITY

Most villages do not have access to fresh water all year round. We help to build and implement rain harvesting solutions, water storage tanks and resource management

CROP DEVELOPMENT

Our volunteers work will villages to construct, plant, and develop vegetable gardens. This involves everything from generating seedlings to creating gardens and maintaining a good crop rotation.

FOOD SOURCES

Volunteers help in building chicken coops in the villages with a view to egg production not only supplementing their diets but also as a source of income.
