78 families residing in Newtown Hart receive assistance from Live and Learn Fiji

78 families living at the Newtown Hart in Suva have received assistance packages from the Live and Learn Fiji organisation.

The assistance is funded by the New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade.

Each family received food ration packs, hygiene and washing kits.

One of the recipients was 67-year-old Sera Mataika Ratu and her 8-year-old granddaughter.

The Social Welfare beneficiary who is wheelchair-bound was emotional when receiving the assistance and says it has brought relief to them in this unfortunate time.

Ratu says they are thankful to Live and Learn and its partners for responding to their needs.

The initiative is in collaboration with the Ministry of Agriculture, the Ministry of Health, the RFMF, Empower Pacific and the Fiji Disabled People’s Federation.
