Project Liaison Theresa Lyford reports:

The Sanctuary Shelter for Women is in its final stages as a Federation Project. We are now so close to the end of this project that the reality is, it is getting quite exciting! President Suman and Project Manager Maria had a successful meeting with the Minister for Women, Children and Poverty Alleviation Honourable Meresaini Vuniwaqa at Waterfront Hotel in Lautoka. Present were our SISWP President Suman Lal, NR Tasneen Ali, Maria Doton and some Club members.

What began as an idea which was presented at the Conference of Clubs in Sydney in 2016 and was voted on by you as Club Members of SISWP as our Federation Project for 2016 – 2018 and then again continued by President Anusha for 2018 – 2020 has finally come to fruition. After 4 years I am delighted to advise that the First Sanctuary: Shelter for Women building has been finished.

Federation project - Sanctuary: Shelter for Women is now in it's final stages of the construction process! Urgent funding is now needed to finalise the fit out of the building!

What an amazing effort to raise funds to support the finalisation of the build and fitout of our Federation Project Sanctuary: Shelter for Women in Fiji by SISWP Member Sonia Casanova.

President Elect Suman Lal visited the construction site of the first Sanctuary Shelter for Women in Fiji this week and is very excited by the further progress being made with the build.
