It has been 23 years since we started rehabilitating the coastal areas in Fiji with mangroves, in collaboration with local communities. In the span of two decades, we have noticed several positive changes in terms of the improved mangrove forests and the increased level of participation of local people. However, due to the intensity and frequency of disasters, coastal communities are the most vulnerable to the impact of these catastrophes. They felt the need to create more mangrove forests, which will serve as natural barriers and protection from these calamities.
OISCA, in partnership with private companies, GlobalGiving donors, UNDP, and the Fijian government, is committed to continuing to work with these communities, particularly women, for them to have a more sustainable and resilient future.
On behalf of the local villagers in Ra Province, we would like to extend our deepest gratitude to GlobalGiving donors for their kind and generous support. We intend to extend and replicate our coastal rehabilitation work in various vulnerable areas.
