Fiji Family Care Centre Sponsorship

Our Family Care Centres in Suva, Lautoka and Labasa are safe houses for women escaping domestic violence, homelessness and human trafficking.

For $30 a month, you can help support this work.

Background

The Salvation Army Child Sponsorship programme has been a well-established and important aspect of Salvation Army ministry to the less fortunate around the globe for many years. In Fiji, a further development of this programme is giving people the chance to help women and children through our three Family Care Centres in Suva, Lautoka and Labasa.

Each Family Care Centre offers shelter, safety, training and support in reintegration into society for women and their families who are victims of domestic violence, have experienced relationship breakdowns, or are in need of shelter and protection because of homelessness, mental health issues and partner suicide. Women are referred by Police, Women’s Refuge and other NGOs. Without these centres, their only other option is to live on the streets. The issue of people trafficking has gained attention in Fiji and the centres are also expected to be involved as safe houses for women who are trafficking victims.
