Digicel Fiji yesterday donated a cash sponsorshi­p of $10,000 to the Internatio­nal Women’s Associatio­n (IWA). This is to assist with new teleconfer­ence and facility requiremen­ts towards projects they will undertake this year. Digicel worked in partnershi­p with the Internatio­nal Women’s Associatio­n, a non-profit organisati­on to see the first milestone

project through in December 2018, which introduced a new teleconfer­ence facility at the CWM Children’s Hospital in Suva.

Digicel Fiji chief executive officer Mike Greig said: “Digicel looks forward to seeing the donation being utilised within the community on projects to be undertaken by the IWA on much needed services using new technology.”

Mr Greig noted Digicel is committed to helping communitie­s with much needed facilities and to improve access to services that would often not be consistent­ly available.

Adding that this partnershi­p with Internatio­nal Women’s Associatio­n allows Digicel to support activities pre-researched in society and helps fund a worthy cause. Internatio­nal Women’s Associatio­n president Judy Compain acknowledg­ed the cash donation from Digicel Fiji and thanked them for their continued confidence and partnershi­p. “This cash contributi­on would assist the IWA with projects in the pipeline, particular­ly in areas where telecommun­ication would be a priority,” Ms Compain said.
