Groundbreaking (First Concrete Pouring) Ceremony – Ratu Sauvoli Memorial School

A significant milestone was reached yesterday with the Groundbreaking (First Concrete Pouring) Ceremony for the new three-classroom building at Ratu Sauvoli Memorial School in Nabudrau, Noco, Rewa.

This exciting project, made possible through the support of the Government and the People of Japan, through its Grants for Grassroot and Human Security Projects, will greatly enhance the learning environment for over 260 students from surrounding villages and communities. The new classrooms will help address overcrowding and provide a safer, more comfortable space for teaching and learning.

The ceremony was officiated by H.E. Hiroshi TAJIMA, Ambassador of Japan to Fiji, and the Honorable Aseri RADRODRO, Minister for Education, marking the beginning of construction for this important One 3 classroom building.

Vinaka vakalevu and thank you to our partners and everyone involved in making this project a reality for our children’s future!
