Welfare in 2010 and an upcoming donation of another 50, self-reliance and employment opportunities are growing for women living in Fiji's rural areas.
Church members' donations to the humanitarian fund allow the Church to meet needs throughout the world with projects such as the sewing machine donations. Church representatives work closely with village and government leaders to understand local circumstances and respect community members' wishes.
"We do this and projects like it because we are followers of Jesus Christ," Elder Taniela B. Wakolo, Area Seventy, said in an interview with the Fiji Times. "Our faith leads us to … do good in the world."
