At Yasawa High School, students also benefited from additional support, including blankets, pencil cases, and hand towels, kindly donated by Fiji Airways.
Minister Bulitavu expressed his sincere appreciation to Fiji Airways for its generous donation of blankets, pencil cases, and other essential items for students at Yasawa High School.
He acknowledged that the contribution would be instrumental in supporting students’ well-being and learning, particularly during this challenging time, and in ensuring assistance reached even the most remote maritime communities.
He says the support also reflects Fiji Airways’ broader Maroroya initiative under its sustainability programme, which focuses on environmental stewardship, community resilience, and climate action.
He adds that such efforts highlight the critical connection between disaster management, environmental protection, and climate change response, reinforcing the importance of collaborative partnerships in building stronger, more resilient maritime communities.
Meanwhile, in Soso Village, families received essential food rations as well as critical non-food items, aimed at helping affected households begin the recovery process after the severe weather event.
The assistance was received in Soso Village by the Turaga na Tui Naviti.
The Ministry says the team is also conducting initial damage assessments to better understand the extent of the impact on communities, infrastructure, and livelihoods.
The team’s visit also provides an opportunity to engage directly with villagers, hear firsthand accounts of the challenges faced, and identify priority needs moving forward.
