Change Maker #9 - Isireli Vuadreu 

Isireli Vuadreu Varia is 29-year-old and hails from Dakuibeqa Village in Beqa.

He was formerly incarcerated and has since turned a new leaf and is helping Co-Found the Cleaning Wizard Service.

This is a cleaning business company that was established to help provide employment to underprivileged individuals who do not have the educational qualifications to attain stable employment.

Through this, Isireli hopes to help address and impact the high crime rate in our communities by employing youth school dropouts and those unemployed, giving them a chance to improve their living standards.

She is currently a member of First Responders, an NGO based in Pacific Harbour.

Due to the current COVID-19 pandemic, they have also been providing food items, cooked meals, baby diapers and many more basic necessities

Sheemal is passionate about helping those who are less fortunate, and her goal is to start a program to encourage Fiji’s youths to come forward and support those who are vulnerable in society.
