Four thousand Fijians of the 12 villages in the Rewa now have a foot crossing which will also ensure school children there  walk to school on their own with no risks.

The disabled can also make use of the crossing due to proper footpath formation with easier accessibility.

The first part of the project named as Rewa Tikina Community Access costs $27,075 while the second part named as Burenivalu Community Access costs $36,391.47 with a total project cost of $63,466.

The three primary schools who are now benefitting from it include Nukui District School, Rewa District School, St. Joseph Catholic School and Rewa Secondary School.

While addressing the Rewa Tikina in his opening address, Assistant Minister for Rural and Maritime Development, Jale Sigarara highlighted three upcoming projects that will be carried out in Rewa including the new access road from Rewa to Vutia village, a new water source from Viria and Seawall and river bank protection project.
