Villages in the district of Naviti, Nacula and Yasawa have commended officials of REACH programme for visiting their villages to assist them with legal advice, rights and responsibilities, health screening with cervical and prostate cancer tests and business registrations.
The Rights, Empowerment and Cohesion Project better known as REACH is an outreach program facilitated by the Poverty Alleviation Ministry.
REACH coordinator, Salesi Savu says they have received positive feedbacks from the villages.
Savu says the REACH programme is intended to provide a one stop service delivery for villagers to seek assistance without travelling a far distance.
