From carrying produce to market to ensuring children get to school safely, improved roads are transforming daily life in Rotuma.

The ongoing government roadworks have made travelling across the island safer, quicker, and more reliable.

Market vendor Vamarasi Faktaufon says that recent pothole repairs have already eased transportation challenges, especially for school trucks that previously faced delays and cancellations during bad weather.

Farmer Karalo Kaurasi of Juju Village also shared that while more improvements are still needed, the changes have already made a difference for families and drivers in the community.

He says they are grateful for the current government undertaking these road works.
