Australia is extending its support to families affected by the COVID19 pandemic in the Western Division through an additional $770,000 grant.

This will be distributed to affected families through Australia’s partnership with the Foundation for Rural Integrated Enterprises & Development, or better known as Friend Fiji.

The Australian government says this grant will provide families with immediate food, essential medicine and mobility aids for people with disabilities.
