The Fijian Drua Foundation has announced a new partnership with Mogul Group, naming the company its Visual Solution partner as the foundation prepares to mark Drua Foundation Week and the Foundation Round this week. The collaboration was confirmed by Drua Foundation managing director Melissa Natawake, who described the arrangement as a timely step to boost public awareness of the foundation’s work.
“An agreement we have come together for them coming on to support the Drua Foundation. This is Drua Foundation Week,” Natawake said, explaining that the Foundation Round is intended to draw attention to the organisation’s on‑and‑off-field programmes. She highlighted the foundation’s work through the Drua Academy, grassroots rugby initiatives, and community-focused education and health programmes as central pillars that the partnership will help showcase.
Foundation Week is designed to put a spotlight on the Drua’s off-field initiatives — from identifying and nurturing young rugby talent to supporting broader community wellbeing across Fiji. With Mogul joining as the Visual Solution partner, the foundation intends to amplify those stories during the week’s activities and match-day events, using visual media to document programmes and raise the profile of its pathways into professional sport and community services.
Mogul Group director Ritesh Chauhan said his company was honoured to join the initiative and praised the foundation’s contribution to Fijian rugby. “We feel very privileged that we were reached out to. The job that the foundation does is very underestimated,” Chauhan said. He added that observing debutants in past games had underscored for Mogul the importance of the foundation’s talent development role, and expressed pride in being associated with the Drua Foundation in a visual communications capacity.
The partnership comes at a key moment for the foundation as it seeks to broaden its reach and engagement. By providing visual content — expected to include event coverage, storytelling around academy graduates and community projects, and promotion of education and health initiatives — Mogul will support the foundation’s efforts to attract attention, potential supporters and participants during Foundation Week and beyond.
While details of the length and scope of the agreement were not disclosed, Natawake framed the collaboration as a strategic move to strengthen the foundation’s communications. As the Foundation Round proceeds this week, the new partnership will be watched for its ability to translate grassroots impact into visible narratives that reinforce the Drua Foundation’s role in creating pathways through rugby and enhancing community wellbeing in Fiji.
