Good news for more than 300 villagers and students of Burenitu district school in Nabukelevu Village in Serua as they will no longer have to cross over on a piece of timber and a coconut trunk because they now have access to a foot-crossing bridge.

While speaking at the commissioning, Minister for Rural and Maritime Development, Dr. Mahendra Reddy says this foot-crossing bridge will allow safer crossings for school children, women and elders of the village.

Dr. Reddy says foot crossing bridge construction program is a to assist rural and outer island communities to meet their basic needs, improve living standards and quality of life towards becoming self-sufficient.

This project is part of the “Hop-Skip & Jump” foot-crossing program which is fully funded by the government and is expected to assist 52 communities around Fiji.
