A Surprise Start to the Week at MFED

There was an extra buzz at this week’s Monday parade, as the women of MFED were greeted with a surprise celebration organized by their male colleagues.

The thoughtful gesture marked International Women’s Day and honored the women representing MFED at the Inter-Ministry event. It was a fitting tribute to the contributions of women across the ministry—and a testament to the strong culture of appreciation and team work at Finance.

As we celebrate, we extend this sentiment beyond our walls: an advance Happy Women’s Day to all the women of Kiribati!
