Safe water for everyone
Engineering water solutions for safer drinking needs of Fiji’s rural communities
This is accomplished through public health awareness, infrastructure solutions and skill training to ensure that their rural water supply needs are sustained.
How We Work
To imagine a day without water. This is a reality for many Fijians living in rural areas. Rotary Pacific Water for Life Foundation strives to connect these rural communities with safer drinking water and adequate sanitation.
What We Do
01.
— Technical Assessment
This begins with a technical assessment of the site in consultation with custodians of the water source.
02.
— Water Committee
An organised water committee, including women and youth representatives, oversees the management of water resources and wellbeing of the community.
03.
— Project Design
Our experienced team engineer solutions which are reviewed by an expert technical committee.
04.
— Construction
Able members of the community build their water scheme with guidance from our Projects team.
05.
— Wash Outreach
Cultivating healthy water, sanitation and hygiene practice in the community is a key component of our projects.
06.
— Maintenance Training
Operations and maintenance training promotes dialogue, inclusive participation and active learning about tailored water conservation strategies.
Since 2007
Our niche role in engineering water and sanitation solutions for rural communities has delivered positive impacts to more than 265 villages, settlements and schools in Fiji.

some of our Projects
Rotary Pacific Water first assessed the leakage situation, increased storage volume and installed a new pump that now distributes water to a raised storage tank
A request for storage tanks was sent in 2014 by the Ba rural health office. A field assessment highlighted the need for water quality solutions as heavy rainfall was bringing muddy contaminated water.
The school was experiencing water shortages due to leakages and a lack of storage capacity.
A spring gravity water system safely transports water from a protected catchment area through underground pipes to the community’s storage tanks. In addition, a biosand filtration system improves the water quality.
