Tropical Cyclone Winston – the most devastating storm on record in the Southern Hemisphere – recently reached our shores, destroying homes and livelihoods, and cutting many Fijians off from utilities, telecommunications and essential medical services.

In response to this crisis, the Fijian Government is working hard to coordinate rescue and recovery efforts. There is a great need for additional resources to urgently address the needs of affected Fijians and assist with the rebuilding process.
These Fijians need your help. Many have been stranded in the aftermath of TC Winston and urgently require life-saving services, supplies and shelter.

The Fijian Government has established bank accounts to receive financial donations in the wake of this crisis. These funds will be used to directly benefit those Fijians who have been left homeless, without adequate food, water and essential services – especially those in rural and maritime communities.

Ok, we finally received word from our farmers on Taveuni, phones and internet began working today. The good news, everyone is ok. The bad news, their houses and processing facility was completely destroyed.
We will be helping them out personally and anyone who is interested in helping Fiji as a whole in this time of need (@kavadude found these if you approve for a sticky) there are a few charities directly helping with Winston relief efforts.

All good info, thanks for posting. Is there anything specific we can do for your farmers?

The save the children site is unreachable now but able to connect to directrelief.org though and they have a paypal donate option which I was hoping someone would have.
