Act for Peace in Fiji

Act for Peace’s project partner the Ecumenical Centre for Research Education & Advocacy (ECREA) is working to empower the people of Fiji and give them a stronger voice in their communities. By allowing communities to take a more active role in education, settlement, and other issues, Fijians are able to work toward a higher quality of life that is not likely to be provided by their government.

One of the goals of this program is to develop plans for extreme weather events in order to minimise destruction and loss of life, while simultaneously teaching Fijians how to plan for and find solutions to the issues that they face.

6,240 individuals will be given this training and 468 villages will benefit from this project. 3,000 school children provided will also be provided with education materials and given training so they can become future advocates for reducing disasters due to intensifying climate patterns in the Pacific Islands.
