Residents of Golden Age Home in Samabula have a better environment after the Leadership Fiji 2025 cohort successfully completed the first phase of its community project, marking an important milestone in its commitment to community service and nation-building.

Leadership Fiji says following a site visit undertaken earlier this year, they identified the Golden Age Home in Samabula as the focal point of its project.

They say phase one works have now been completed and include the refurbishment of the walkway in the ladies’ section of the Home, repainting of railings and window frames, water blasting of facilities, and the installation of lighting along the walkway.

Leadership Fiji says these enhancements further strengthen the safety and comfort of the residents, complementing the ongoing efforts by the Government and the Home’s management to maintain a safe and comfortable environment for all.

They say phase two of the community project will involve further painting works along the walkway and additional enhancements to the facility, ensuring a lasting and meaningful impact for the residents of the Golden Age Home.

The 2025 cohort has acknowledged the management and staff of the Golden Age Home for their cooperation and support throughout this phase of the project.

They also acknowledge their sponsors including Joji’s Restaurant, which provided meals for participants during the two days of project work; Longrun Fiji, which supplied roofing iron at competitive rates and ensured timely delivery; Temo Consulting, which supported the procurement of timber; Essity Australasia, which provided toilet paper, hygiene dispensers, and refills for one year; and Five Squares, which supplied paint and related materials.

They further say their vision is to develop and enhance the quality of leaders in Fiji as they remains steadfast in its aspiration for a Fiji that, by 2035, will shine as a nation that is resilient, safe, innovative, healthy, and united.

Leadership Fiji says each year, alongside the scheduled program, participants undertake community projects that not only address real needs but also provide opportunities for them to grow as leaders while giving back in meaningful ways.

They add since its inception in 2001, Leadership Fiji is proud to have close to 600 alumni, all dedicated to creating positive change and contributing to the progress of their communities and Fiji as a whole.
