ADRA is a charity sponsored by the Seventh-day Adventist Church and Save the Children Fiji is an organisation that focuses on helping improve the lives of children.
Both donations from Latter-day Saint Charities went to support and strengthen existing efforts by the two agencies in Fiji.
“There are families who will need support for several more months before they are able to recover from the Covid crisis,” said Shairana Ali, Save the Children Fiji’s Chief Executive Officer. “Therefore, the support from Latter-day Saint Charities is vital.”
In a recent distribution of food kits, some were taken into the country’s interior, across rugged terrain and rivers to help women who could not get their produce to market because of closed borders due to the pandemic.

“Jesus Christ taught that we must help those in need, and this is how He lived. As followers of Christ, we are committed to alleviating suffering and helping individuals and families bounce back from the difficulties they are facing.”
Latter-day Saint Charities is working with both charities to identify ways to help meet longer term needs including food production initiatives.
