In Fiji, where Asilika lives, most people live on less than $10 a day.
With support from Caritas, she learned new skills, started a business, and built a future full of hope.

Right now, every $1 you give becomes $4, thanks to the NZ Government. So, a gift of $35 from you becomes $140.
From hardship to thriving business
Asilika, Tutu Rural Training Centre, Taveuni Island in Fiji
For Fijian mum Asilika, life was hard - and her dreams for a better future felt out of reach. But everything changed when she was offered a place with Caritas’ local partner - the Tutu Rural Training Centre, where she learned sewing, screen printing, handicrafts, and how to manage money.
Today, she runs a small business selling items across Fiji and beyond. What started as survival has become a livelihood that supports her family and strengthens her whole community.
Beekeeping in Solomon Islands: Giving my children a future
Nellie, local Rural Training Centre in Solomon Islands
Sometimes Nellie worried about how she would make ends meet. But that changed when she joined a programme run by a Caritas partner.
“This project is the answer I’ve been looking for to pay my children’s school fees. The training was very practical and empowering.”
Nellie is one of many women in Solomon Islands who has embraced beekeeping. Today, she sees honey as more than food. It is hope for her children’s future.
