18/07/2010- Exteme Makeover for Nadi Hospital
Nadi hospital's Maternity Ward will undergo an extreme makeover soon to benefit the citizens of the tourist town of Fiji.
This will be made possible through a Fiji Water donation of $30,000 to the 2010 Accor Extreme Challenge to Cure Kids.
This donation follows on from the $90,000 that was donated by the Fiji Water Foundation last year which helped fund the Rheumatic Heart Disease screening programme.
The bi-annual adventure challenge held by international hotel company Accor in support of Cure Kids Fiji this year includes an ‘Extreme Makeover’ to Nadi Hospital’s maternity ward among other projects.
Paul Davies, Managing Director of Natural Water Viti Limited (NWVL) said the opportunity to contribute towards the transformation of the ward, and help keep mothers and babies healthy in the first critical days, is a natural fit with the company’s community support.
“Any positive change we can make by investing in our community is returned to us ten-fold through the positive results we see in the development and better health of the Fijian people – it’s a fun and extremely rewarding way to get involved in the community.”
Chief Executive Officer of Cure Kids, Vicki Lee said FIJI Water’s contribution to the maternity ward and the event further emphasises the company’s belief in community well-being.
“I think it’s wonderful that with partnerships with local companies like FIJI Water we are improving the odds for local children.
“The more equipment and essential research we can all provide with funds raised from these events, the better for future generations of Fijian children.”
