FIJI UK

Hi, thanks for the thoughtful story - those of us working on the FIJI Water team in the UK are very keen that these issues are discussed openly and often! One response to Anthony's final point on fresh drinking water for Fiji's local community - here's some information taken from our FAQ at the Fiji Green website, a great resource for the latest information on all of the questions raised in this article and by subsequent posts:

"Reliable access to clean, safe drinking water is common throughout much of Fiji, but there are still remote villages where infrastructure is lacking. FIJI Water has taken direct responsibility for providing water access to the villages that surround our source in the Yaqara Valley. We have completed projects that serve the towns of Drauniivi and Togovere, and by the end of 2008 we will complete similar projects in Naseyani, Nananu and Rabulu. In addition, FIJI Water has partnered with the Rotary Club to fund the Pacific Water for Life Trust, which will provide the infrastructure, expertise and skills necessary to deliver safe, clean and sustainable water to over 100 additional communities, schools, health centers and nursing stations throughout Fiji over the next two years."
