WFWP Fiji Offers Food for Those in Need

Written by WFWP Fiji

Many households in Fiji, especially those living in informal settlements, experience both malnourishment and illness as a result of a lack of access to an adequate food supply. As they rely heavily on food handouts, WFWP Fiji decided to support these households while celebrating International Women’s Day. The goal was to empower women by providing them with physical help in the form of food parcels and psychological help in the form of a listening ear. 

Following the vision of Dr. Hak Ja Han Moon, members of WFWP Fiji initiated a project to lend a helping hand to local women to deal with their struggles. 

Members put together several items to create Food Baskets which were distributed to ten women and their families. These families included a single parent of a disabled child, a grandmother caring for her Grandson and a newly widowed woman who has just lost her job.
