The Ministry of Policing is actively looking to partner with the Methodist Church of Fiji to combat drug abuse and HIV-related concerns within communities. Minister Ioane Naivalurua recently met with Reverend Dr. Semisi Turagavou, the president of the church, to discuss potential collaboration and to solicit the church’s support in these critical areas.
During their discussions, the minister and the church leader emphasized the importance of enhancing their partnership to promote advocacy and raise awareness about the dangers associated with drug abuse. This initiative is part of a larger governmental strategy aimed at addressing drug-related issues and HIV through effective cooperation with faith-based organizations and community leaders.
This collaboration highlights the significant role that faith institutions can play in public health initiatives, providing a platform for outreach and education that reaches citizens at the grassroots level. By joining forces, the Ministry of Policing and the Methodist Church of Fiji aim to foster healthier communities, alleviating the struggles caused by substance abuse and enhancing the understanding of HIV prevention. Such partnerships can inspire hope and provide much-needed resources to those affected, marking a positive step forward in community health and wellbeing.
