One village at a time, together we can...

Our mission at Wananavu Kadavu~Water Project is to help bring fresh spring water to the rual village of the Fiji Islands.

Wananavu means in Fijian, everything is good, perfect. The bottled spring water you buy in markets around the world is not the same water rural villages have access to. It's high in the mountains above them.

Changes...

Thank you to all who have worked with us... 
not only dose it taken a village, it takes the world 
to make great things happen.




As we have been working 24/7 on our nonprofit, Wananavu Kadavu we are finding just how much work it is.  I had no idea the work involved, I jumped in head first.  With the amazing knowledge and support of our Board of Directors, and Advisory Board Members we are moving forward faster then we can keep up.  We are enjoying the journey in our efforts in helping others.

We are moving forward to many years serving the Islands of Fiji, we are an international organization.  Who knows where our journey will take us, but we intend to enjoy the adventure.

We have received countless support and encouragement from around the world. What a difference it makes when we work together.


We are always updating our site and posts, check us out at:   http://wananavukadavu.org/
