Fijian Partnerships...Supporting the Fiji National Development PlanThe depth of our association with local communities, government departments, charities and local organisations within Fiji is unique. Think Pacific is an organisation built upon collaboration and long term partnerships, of which we are very proud. Our partnerships mean that we achieve community driven action plans in line with government aims. We listen to communities’ needs to achieve projects that wouldn’t be funded by any other means.

Words cannot express how much we are thankful to Think Pacific volunteers.
