El Niño Emergency Response efforts continue to support communities, schools, and health facilities affected by prolonged dry conditions across the Yasawa Islands.
The operation supplied 300,000 litres of water to communities and essential facilities across Naviti and Waya Islands.
This was made possible through the collaborative efforts of the Fiji Ministry of Public Works, Meteorological Services, and Transport, through the Government Shipping Services, Water Authority of Fiji, and the Ministry of Rural and Maritime Development and Disaster Management & Fiji NDMO through the Commissioner Western’s Office.
On Naviti Island, assistance reached Yasawa Secondary School, Marou Primary School, Kese Health Centre, the Police Post, Vakatawa and the doctor’s residence. Supplies were also provided to Ratu Apenisa Primary School in Soso Village, Somosomo Nursing Station and Gaunavou Primary School in Gunu Village.
On Waya Island, Ratu Naivalu Primary School and Namara Village School also received supplies to support students, staff and surrounding communities.
This initiative forms part of the ongoing emergency response to address water shortages and assist people affected by El Niño conditions.
Fiji Government agencies remain committed to reaching vulnerable and remote communities, ensuring that no community is left behind in accessing this essential resource.

I am writing to raise my concern once again regarding the ongoing water supply issue at my residence on Rokodrawe Road, Lami Village. Since November last year, our household has been without a proper water supply due to extremely low water pressure. While households located downhill receive water, those of us living uphill continue to suffer without a single drop. Despite our repeated complaints and the occasional monitoring of water pressure, nothing has changed. We even approached the Water Authority to ask whether we could pay for our own black water pipe or have our water main installed closer to our house to improve the supply. However, we were told that this was not possible because we live in the village and the land is not private property. My question is: how are we supposed to survive under these circumstances? We are residents of Lami Village, and we deserve access to clean, reliable water just like everyone else. We are willing to pay for a possible solution, yet we have been told that we cannot proceed with the option we suggested. At the same time, the existing water pressure is too low to supply our homes, leaving us to depend on rainwater for our daily needs. Water is not a luxury. It is a basic necessity for cooking, bathing, washing clothes, cleaning and maintaining proper hygiene. This situation has placed a serious burden on our household, and it is extremely frustrating to continue living like this without a permanent solution. We respectfully request that the Water Authority investigate this matter and advise us on what practical options are available to improve the water supply to uphill households in Lami Village. If installing a separate pipe or extending the water main is not permitted, please provide an alternative solution that will ensure we receive a reliable water supply. We have been patient and have raised this concern repeatedly. We need more than just pressure monitoring; we need meaningful action and a lasting solution. Account Number: 400034392 Contact Numbers: 2952685 / 2952979 Address: Rokodrawe Road, Lami Village We look forward to your urgent response and hope that our concerns will finally be addressed.
