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.

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.
