About the village.

Rukurukulevu is a small village on the Coral Coast of Fiji made up of about 50 homes. Most of these households struggle to provide the basic needs for their families.

Like many small villages in Fiji they rely heavily on tourism. Many of the village men and women work at the nearby resort.

However for most this pays approximately $2 an hour and often the work is part time or infrequent.

Farming is also the other main occupation.


However this usually does not provide a source of income. It simply provides food for their family. They grow vegetables such as kava (like potato). In recent years they have had their entire crops destroyed by cyclones.
