Save the Children Fiji CEO, Ms. Shairana Ali, expresses her aspirations for a brighter future for children in Fiji during a follow-up visit earlier this year to a local community accompanied by the CAEVAC Team and Ms. Amie Richardson, the Media and Communications Director of Save the Children New Zealand.

The CAEVAC (Collective Action to End Violence Against Children) Project is a “child-centered” initiative that is aimed at stimulating platforms that will strengthen child protection systems in communities as well as on a national scale, with the assurance of children’s contributions to the revolutionary change incorporated.

The project whose long-term goal is “to ensure that children in Fiji face less harm from all forms of violence,” is implemented in 24 marginalized communities between the Lami, Suva, and Nausori corridors, with the primary objective of reaching 24 community leaders and 24 community development committees.

The CAEVAC Project is being implemented by Save the Children Fiji, funded by New Zealand Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and supported by Save the Children New Zealand.
