Fiji: Tools, seeds and grocery packs for poverty-stricken Fijians o 209 families received Grocery packs as an initial response to the financial hardship Fijian families faced with the collapse of the tourism industry and significant job loss. The packs lasted each family one month and consisted of basic food items to supplement their gardens. Approximately 945 individuals benefited. o Community share garden packs are being established at 18 parishes throughout Fiji that consist of gardening tools, equipment and seeds to allow church compounds and individual families to grow their own food increasing food security and self sufficiency during these uncertain times. o Tablets for CIVA (Community Integrated Vulnerability Assessment), that will provide Fijian youth with work and highly valuable transferable skills. The CIVA will identify the areas in the community that are at risk or vulnerable in case of a natural disaster or crisis (Covid-19). The data collected from the framework will then be mapped using the QGIS software. Once completed, an action plan will be prepared to address the issues gathered from the community. o Community gardens and enterprise in Tonga is being undertaken with All Saints and St Mathias carrying out gardening establishment projects within their communities and St Barnabas supporting community members to establish business enterprises.
