We are a group of local people building a school farm information centre and centre of excellence in a rural area inland of Fiji. We believe in researching and demonstrating sustainable appropriate technology we can really help people to improve their lives in a way that sustains for them and for the planet. Fiji may be a luxury tourist destination but most people in rural Fiji are subsistance farmers living without electricity running water toilets or other basic amenities. 20% live on less than $1 a day. Many have little or no secondary education. Come and help us help them.
