Fiji Village Project (FVP)

FVP Logo

Welcome!

The Fiji Village Project (FVP) is a not-for-profit international humanitarian project, initiated by medical students, based on models from the World Health Organisation (WHO), International Federation of Medical Students Associations and Fiji School of Medicine Public Health Curriculum. The annual project is executed by medical, dental, nursing and public health students from Australia, Fiji and New Zealand. The project aims to promote health in the South Pacific region and provides the opportunity of a cultural exchange between our Pacific neighbouring countries whilst working towards a common goal.

FVP is an annual two-week project, that usually runs in January, organised by the Australian, New Zealand and Fijian FVP coordinators. Each year, a remote Fijian village is selected according to a feasibility study conducted by the Fijian coordinator; the criteria is that the village is not connected to water mains and does not have a sustainable, clean, drinking water source. Below you will find a breakdown of the mission of FVP and how this is achieved with each annual project.
