ARUKA Fiji

Today, our USP Social Work Placement Students presented the outcomes of their two-week group work, which focused on reviewing and assessing Aruka Fiji’s internal policies, particularly our Prevention of S*xual Exploitation, Abuse and Harassment (PSEAH) Policy and Child Safeguarding Policy.

The presentation provided an opportunity for the students to demonstrate how they examined these policies, what they have learned throughout the placement, and why strong policy compliance is essential in protecting children, vulnerable communities, staff, volunteers and the people we serve.

We are proud to see our placement students engaging critically with safeguarding and accountability practices and developing a deeper understanding of how policies translate into responsible practice within an organisation.

A special vinaka vakalevu to the Pacific Conference of Churches for their amazing support and generosity in allowing us to use their space for today’s presentation and learning session. Your support contributes greatly to creating opportunities for learning, reflection and professional development.

Learning through practice. Strengthening safeguarding. Building better social work practice. 🤝🌿

Team work and Funding by Health Equity Matters Australia.

Based on the of a in Fiji by Health Equity Matters, July 2026, Community-led approaches are working.

The review confirms that the Peer Outreach Worker (POW) model is successfully reaching people who traditional health services often struggle to engage. Community members trust peers because they share lived experiences and understand the realities faced by key populations.

The CSOs involved in this work would like to acknowledge Australian Government Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade for their great support to the project.

Last week, our team had the opportunity to present about ARUKA Fiji, sharing our organisation's mission, our individual roles, and the impact of the work we do.

It was also a time to reflect on what we've learned, both professionally and personally. Professionally, we've grown in communication, teamwork, leadership, and serving our communities with purpose.

Personally, we've learned patience, compassion, resilience, and the importance of supporting one another.

The staff 2026 internal training will be engaging our operational team for the next 3 weeks, where 2 days are allocated to getting PFA Training, HIV POW Training and review of Child Safeguarding and PSEAH Training. We're grateful for the opportunity to learn from each other, the communities that we had engaged in the last few years and continue growing together as we serve vulnerable communities across Fiji.

The team are also wrapping up with few months of review of our 2024 to 2025 financial reports and initially scouting for an Auditor to assist with our 2024 / 2025 Auditing hence looking forward to our 2026 AGM.
