Water Sanitation in Fiji

Associate Professor Caryn West recently visited beautiful Fiji as part of a consortium of university partners, industry partners and Government to discuss a collaborative water sanitation project.

Set to start in the Yasawa Islands, the project to improve reef and human health outcome in remote island communities is the brain child of local resort owners Peter Farrell and Gareth Van Eyssen from the Barefoot Collection Kuata and Manta and Australian physician Dr Peter Wirth. With the aim to bring together a multidisciplinary team of university and industry experts to work with local land owners and communities  this project offers a truly unique collaborative approach to water sanitation and sustainability.

As the WHO CC for Nursing & Midwifery Education & Research Capacity Building in the Western Pacific we committed to the philosophy of ‘Inspiring Excellence in the Pacific.’  As such, it is an honour to work in collaboration with local partners such as the Barefoot Collection who are equally committed to safeguarding the local and cultural identity of their communities.
