Creating New Global Partnerships – Australia Students Working Towards Sustainable Development in Fiji
Expanding our Global Network…
We are incredibly excited that through our Virtual Internship program we have been able to work with passionate individuals from all over the world. We’ve connected interns from every continent with each other and with organisations in Fiji to support their development 🌏
As well as expanding our vuvale (family) we’ve also been extending our partnerships with organisations in Fiji and with universities around the world. Through networking and partner referrals we’ve partnered with over 80 Fijian organisations for our remote internship. From grassroot NGOs through to Government Ministries – we are so grateful to be working with such a diverse range of partners across a huge range of industries.
Through our volunteering and remote opportunities we’ve partnered with over 70 UK universities, and now that global mobility is stronger than ever, we are thrilled to be making exciting new partnerships with universities around the world.
Working with Australian students
Through our virtual internship we’ve had students from a variety of universities in Australia including Deakin University, Flinders University and Australia National University plus many more!Â
What skills have our interns gained? Don’t ask us, hear from them…
“One of the highlights of the internship for me was looking into the Fijian culture, so looking into the culture series and experiencing that working from home so it was a really interesting experience. Personally I think my confidence has really increased because I didn’t think I would be able to make this kind of project.”

It’s not just our interns benefiting…
Here’s what some of our Fijian partners have to say about our interns projects. Hearing such incredible feedback from our internship partners really validates the positive contributions our interns can have supporting their partner organisations in Fiji 🙏
“The output from the interns is phenomenal! I am doing the feedback forms now. The quality of work produced in such a short notice, with the level of research, accuracy and awareness is brilliant. We are very thankful to this partnership and the work and will continue to partner up on future projects.”Â
“I would like to extend my appreciation to your organisation for allowing us to be part of such an amazing initiative. This kind of success and dedication can only be achieved with love and a true sense of belonging to the global family to serve the same ultimate goal. Together we are creating change, through positivity and cooperation. In this way impossible becomes possible!”
“Many thanks for sending these completed documents through! It’s awesome to see the hard work and thought that has been put into working on these projects by the interns. Your assistance has been gratefully appreciated!”Â
