Lomaiviti Women’s Association raise over $40,000 for girls hostel project in Suva

Students travelling from Lomaiviti to Suva to get an education will soon not have to worry about accommodation as the Lomaiviti Women’s Association has managed to collect over $40,000 to build a hostel.

Chairperson and consultant Sereana Qoro told fijivillage News the money was collected during their fundraising event held at the Lautoka Methodist School Ground.

Qoro says many students struggle to find a place to stay when they move for studies, and the planned hostel will help ease the burden on both students and their parents.

She says the association has already purchased a piece of land near Navuso along Qilolevu Road in Nausori.

Qoro also acknowledged the women from the 12 districts of Lomaiviti for their commitment and support towards the project.
