Partnerships are the key to the success of FRIEND's programs. We collaborate with communities that want to participate actively in their own development and with non-government organisations, corporations and government agencies that share our commitment to poverty alleviation.
By seeking and encouraging these partnerships, FRIEND provides a link between people and opportunities. We would like to express our most sincere thanks to the following donors for their generous contributions in support of our work towards poverty alleviation: AusAID, Australia/Fiji Community Justice Program, British High Commission, Canada Fund, French Embassy, FSPI and NZAID.
We thank Fiji Gas, Chan Law, CDP Courier Services, Communications Fiji Ltd, Do Advertising, APCO Paints, ByteRocky (Australia) and all of our corporate sponsors as well as volunteers and friends of FRIEND for their ongoing support.
We also express our sincere gratitude to the many supporters who have assisted in our efforts toward poverty alleviation.
