The Fiji Mountaineering and Climbing Association plans to raise funds and provide scholarships to underprivileged children.

A walk in New Zealand to raise funds for child abuse and for children who have been neglected in Fiji will be undertaken by Fijians living in New Zealand and here late next year.

Seven people will be walking around New Zealand’s North and South islands to raise money for children who come from disadvantaged families in Fiji.

The organisers of the “Walk for Education and Zero Tolerance against Child Abuse” are planning to make the event an annual one.

Six Fijians have started the four hundred and sixty-one kilometers walk today to raise funds for four hundred children who come from low-income families.

In an effort to raise awareness on child abuse and neglect, a schoolteacher is on Vanua Levu to create awareness on the issue.

The alarming rate of child abuse in the country has prompted a 26-year-old school teacher to raise awareness in Vanua Levu through a walk around the second largest island in the country.

The children are the future of the nation, says a DAV Girls College teacher and advocate for banning child abuse, Savneel Sangeet.
