| The Bula Swasth Team continued into Week 2 yesterday at Kinoya Settlement with the distribution of seeds and garden tools to support healthier communities and sustainable living.

Led by Project Officer and Dietitian Shonika Kumar, the initiative highlights that nutrition does not only begin at the table — it starts in the garden. By empowering families to grow their own fresh produce, we are planting the seeds for better health, stronger communities, and a more sustainable future.

| More than 35 participants gathered from the central communities, churches, and Fiji Mission staff for the Climate-Responsive Emergency Planning & Coordination Training
Anticipatory Action Workshop held from 25–28 May 2026.

The training focused on strengthening community preparedness, coordination, and response through the integration of the Mission Emergency Management Plan and Anticipatory Action approaches. Participants learned about disaster risk reduction, community structures, hazard identification, participatory risk assessments, disaster preparedness and response planning, early warning systems, early recovery considerations, and community action planning.

The workshop also included group presentations, community mapping, seasonal calendars, simulation exercises (SIMEX), initial damage assessment, emergency coordination mechanisms, and post-disaster waste management.

This training has strengthened the capacity of communities, churches, and mission staff to work together in building safer, more resilient, and climate-smart communities across Fiji.

| Empowering communities through knowledge and healthier choices

Today, the women’s group of Lokia Village participated in a Value Adding Training under the BSI Climate-Smart Pacific Food Systems Programme. The training focused on practical food processing skills using locally available resources to promote healthier living and reduce dependence on store-bought products.

Participants learned how to make jam from dates and sultanas, produce peanut butter, and learn the processes of processing root crops into flour. The training also included making homemade tomato sauce and baking cakes using cassava flour as a healthier alternative.

These hands-on activities are helping families explore nutritious and sustainable food options while creating opportunities for improved household resilience and income generation. It is another important step towards healthier living and stronger food security within our communities.

We are grateful to everyone who participated and supported the program as we continue working together to promote health and wellbeing in our communities.

Preparations are underway for next week’s BSI Value Adding Training in Narocivo and Lokia communities.

The team recently conducted field visits to confirm participant numbers, engage with local farmers, and assess the current crops being grown within the Lokia demo farms. These visits also provided an opportunity to discuss the upcoming training and strengthen collaboration with participating communities.

The team also met with representatives from the Ministry of Agriculture at Lakena to coordinate support for the training. We are grateful for the continued partnership and collaboration in empowering rural communities through agricultural development and value-adding initiatives.
