Mission Statement

To construct a building in Fiji for youth counselling for those who have been rejected and neglected by their loved ones and who now rely on drugs, alcohol and sex.

To provide safe and secure accomodation for these youngsters.

To educate in life skills and provide work in farming and handicraft.

To allow at least two youths from Fijito visit the UK on an annual holiday as part of their personal growth and development

To involve the youth in the UK who may also feel rejected from their families by involving them in the project.

To enable five UK youth to travel to Fiji as part of their own development experience to visit, help and observe those who have been suffering in silence by distributing donated clothing, food and other essential items.

This is the story of a child who started work at the age of 14 and who has now grown to become a succesful and hard working individual member of society. He could very easily have turned to a life of crime on the streets but instead he grasped the opportunities offered to him and now is able to support his own wife and young family.

This is one mans story of how he survived.....
Eliki Nabuto started working as a wheelbarrow boy at the age of 14.

He is 32-years-old now and still doing the same job, but in a unique way with a whole new start and mindset.

Mr Nabuto is determined and dedicated.

He is one of the 20 wheelbarrow boys in the capital city who were assisted by the Ministry of Social Welfare to start up their own wheelbarrow business early this year.

Mr Nabuto said the effort by the ministry has given him a new life.

The ministry had organised a five-day training camp in August at Nanukuloa Village in Ra to empower the boys to improve their lives.

The workshop was the first of its kind aimed specifically for displaced people of Suva to improve their lives.

The objective of the training program was to develop necessary skills to start and maintain a small business and it also was aimed at achieving a mindset change and to inculcate skills which encouraged better life management.

The boys were later awarded certificates, a savings bank account book, new wheelbarrows with their brand name-WEEBEEZ, uniforms and licence to conduct their normal business.

I thank this interim Government for thinking about us and giving us a new life. Without their kind support we would not be able to be this stable in life. I liked the training they gave us and I was encouraged to do better in my life and get somewhere now. I have so far saved more than $300 in my bank and before I knew nothing about saving. I do feel secure for the future, said Mr Nabuto.

He was interested in continuing with his education but had to leave school while in Form 4 to support his family.

He is the eldest in a family of four children and hails from Deuba Village in Serua.

I have two brothers and one sister and I had to leave school because someone had to look after my family. I started with the wheelbarrow job but also did farming at home and sold cash crops, he said.

In between his teenage years Mr Nabuto also used to do farming at home to support his family.

He later tried other jobs but handling a wheelbarrow was what he settled with in the end.

I had worked as a assistant store man for Lees Trading Company, as a security officer, a garment factory worker, a kitchen hand in hotels in the western side but ended up with this wheelbarrow job in the end. I earn more this way and I also enjoy doing this, he said,

Mr Nabuto said he used to earn more than what he does today because there was less competition in the field.

I was earning more before because there were fewer boys doing this job. I used to make $60-$70 per day before and it was even more during Friday and Saturday but now I make about $30-$40 per day and get $60-$70 per day on Saturdays mostly, he said.

Before being part of the program, Mr Nabuto used to pay $5 per day to the owner of the wheelbarrow.

He is glad that he is his own boss now and is able to save for a brighter future for him and his family.

Mr Nabuto has a four year old daughter named Losalini Tagiri and his wife is Onorina Rokowati.

His dream in life is to be a good father and husband and to take good care of his family.

He lives at Kalokolevu Village in Naboro.

I am also looking forward to getting my licence and perhaps start a small canteen business in my village, he said.

His only regret in life is that he was unable to complete his studies and he looks forward to studying in the future.

Never allow others to let you down is what Mr Nabuto believes in.

My message to the young people is to do any job that comes your way. Dont be ashamed to do it because you think about what others will think. Secondly believe in God, pray every day and leave the rest to him, he said.

GOD BLESS US ALL

Bula vinaka to all the Fijians and Fiji fans out there in the UK, abroad and in our beautiful home of Fiji.

We have just established 'The Hidden Love Project and our aim is to help those youngters who are now living street lives in Fiji and also the English youth here in UK who are experiencing similar difficulties.

To help them firstly we will be constructing a building in Fiji for counselling and at the same time allowing them to earn a legitimate source of income for their own personal growth and wellbeing.

To fundraise this project we have published- The First Fijian Newspaper in the UK and the profits raised will go towards the project.

Secondly, the very first Fijian restaurant based in Winchester will provide a further income generating source. This will be accompanied by a Fiji supermarket selling all Fijian and other internationally sourced products.

Last but not least, there is a book in support of the project. The Hidden Love autobiography has been completed and is currently awaiting publication.

The purpose of this blog is to seek support of the international community. We are respectfully seeking subscriptions, donations, comments and suggestions in support of the project. We are especially interested in hearing from anyone who may be in a position to donate time and energy to the project.

Please feel free to drop in a line with any comments or suggestions and check back regularly either here or in the Bula Fiji Blog for updates on progress.

I WISH YOU ALL A BLESSED WEEK AND MAY THE LOVE OF GOD COMFORT YOU ALL. THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME.
