Secondary school education in Fiji is neither free nor compulsory, which is why we have been supporting a project since 2012 to help address this issue. The Rotary Club of Tavueni Island has set up a fund to pay for secondary school education for students who would not otherwise be able to attend high school. The success rate for these students, most of whom are from single parent families, is very high, with many going on to study at university. Our aim this year is to raise $2000, to match the District grant we have received, allowing our Club to donate $4000 towards this very worthwhile project. If you would like to make a donation, payments can be made to the following account and you will receive a receipt for tax purposes in due course:
