30 families of Dramasi settlement in Tavua will now have access to proper and safe drinking water after the commissioning of the irrigation water source project today.

While commissioning the $22,140.33 investment project, Minister for Agriculture, Waterways and Environment Dr. Mahendra Reddy says this investment by the Fijian Government promotes equal opportunities, access to basic services and builds resilient communities.

Reddy adds that the project will assist members of the community in better organizing rural farmers through cluster farming, provision of extension services, farm-access roads, irrigation, mechanization, marketing support, and export development.
