FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
August 28, 2025
Anglican Missions is delighted to announce that it has received a grant from the United Thank Offering (UTO) to support water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) initiatives in Fiji.
Building on the successful work in Nadawa, this new project will enhance dignity and well-being for families living in informal settlements. The UTO grant will enable the construction of safe, private toilet and shower blocks in Yavala, near Sigatoka, and in Waidradra, in partnership with the Anglican Church in Polynesia. The work is being supported by MMM, whose volunteers are generously giving their time and skills.
Mark Mitchell, Humanitarian and Development Manager at Anglican Missions, said:
“We are deeply grateful for the support of UTO and the commitment of MMM. Access to safe and private sanitation is essential for health and dignity, and this project will make a tangible difference for families in these communities.”
The United Thank Offering is a ministry of The Episcopal Church in the United States that supports innovative mission and ministry throughout the world. Anglican Missions is honoured to be among the recipients of this year’s awards.
