Think Pacific is a UK social enterprise and registered Fijian charity, which works with local government partners to achieve ethical, responsible and sustainable development in remote Fijian communities, whilst allowing university students to have a safe, structured and rewarding experience. Think Pacific offers volunteering opportunities in Fiji and recently Bali.
Think Pacific works as a two-way process. We improve the life-skills, global understanding and personal development of both local Youths and international youths through collaborative learning and volunteering.
There are 5 different projects available in Fiji. These include:
During each, international volunteers live at the heart of a Fijian village, experience challenges, teamwork and cultural differences and work side-by-side with Fijian youths to discuss, explore and implement programmes to tackle a range of social issues. All seek to achieve the aims of Fiji’s National Development Plan.
In partnership with the Fijian government, the overall goal is to increase access to information, advice and opportunity for children and youths in rural Fijian communities, whilst empowering young people (Fijian and international) to become more self-confident, culturally astute and empathetic leaders, who can tackle local and global challenges.
After 15 years of working solely in the Fiji Islands, Think Pacific has recently expanded its reach to Bali. They aim to continue to be a small and personable organisation that works in direct partnership with government ministries, industry leaders and NGOs across the Asia-Pacific region.
