During these unprecedented times due to the COVID-19 Pandemic, Fijians are reaching out to one another through acts of kindness.
While many may be isolated in Lautoka due to the lockdown – inspiring Fijians and organisations are making sure they are not alone.
The Lautoka Ratepayers and Residents Association in partnership with the Foundation for Rural Integrated Enterprises and Development (Friend Fiji) are reaching out to those in Lautoka who are finding it hard to get by daily.
They have already distributed 50 hampers to those in need.
These hampers include items like rice, flour, dhal, cooking oil, canned tuna, biscuits, antibacterial soap and washing powder.
Lautoka businessman, Narayan Reddy who lives in Drasa Vitogo has been helping with the distribution.
Reddy says they are assisting people who are in real need.
He says they are getting about 40 calls from people everyday.
Reddy says they are also working with Empower Pacific to provide counselling as this is a stressful time for people who have lost their jobs.
