Chief Executive Officer

The Foundation for Rural Integrated Enterprises & Development (FRIEND) is a homegrown community development Non-Governmental Organisation based in Lautoka on the west coast of Fiji’s main island, Viti Levu.

The hallmark of FRIEND’s work is the integrated approach it brings into community development, working with communities in rural and under-served regions of Fiji’s western and northern and central divisions. This encompasses formal and non-formal settlements and we ensure inclusion of the marginalised members of the community including those living with disabilities, widows, single parents, orphans and former prisoners.

Through its integrated social, health and economic interventions, FRIEND empowers communities through knowledge, skills and resources to improve their lives and break out of poverty. With the support of donor partners and through its own funding, FRIEND engages Communities in Governance programs, Sustainable Livelihoods, Disaster Preparedness and Healthy Living, targeting women, youths and men in each community we work in for sustainable development.
