Thank you so much for your continued support of our waste management project—an essential initiative working to address some of Fiji’s most pressing environmental challenges.
Fiji is currently facing serious waste management issues, intensified by the growing use of diverse and non-biodegradable packaging such as plastic bottles, glass, polystyrene, and cardboard.
Without effective disposal systems in place, these materials accumulate rapidly, threatening local ecosystems. Improper waste handling not only leads to pollution of rivers and oceans but also increases harmful practices like plastic burning, which releases toxic substances that endanger both environmental and human health.
In response, our team has been working closely with communities in the Dawasamu and Bureiwai districts to implement practical and sustainable waste management solutions. This includes the installation of local waste and recycling stations, alongside ongoing community-led education and awareness initiatives. \
Education is at the heart of our approach. We believe that building understanding around waste issues, exploring practical solutions, and encouraging shared responsibility are key to long-term change. Through school-based awareness sessions and community engagement, we’re empowering individuals of all ages to become active participants in improving local waste management practices.
Thanks to your generous support, we’ve already seen tangible improvements. Communities are now more informed, better equipped, and increasingly motivated to manage waste responsibly.
Your donations enable us to continue this vital work, expand into more villages, and ensure that both infrastructure and education remain at the forefront of our strategy.
Please rest assured that our dedicated team is fully committed to ongoing support. We remain actively present in the field, listening to local needs, refining our methods, and nurturing community ownership every step of the way. Together, we are laying the groundwork for a cleaner, healthier, and more sustainable future for Fiji.
