Our focus, people in vulnerable communities. We help empower the community to be better prepared for Disasters, both man-made and natural. We build resilient communities that will help people respond and bounce back or recover better after an event. We provide Psycho-social support to help communities cope with the mental, emotional, and social needs that arise after an event. We equip the community with life saving First Aid & Safety skills. We do many things but we are focused on building a resilient Fiji, free from vulnerabilities where people are ready to offer impartial & voluntary assistance to those in need.We started off a branch of British Red Cross in 1952.In 1972, we gained recognition as a National Society, when the government officially acknowledged FRCS as an auxiliary to public authorities & as the only Red Cross Society in Fiji.In 1973, we attained international recognition when we became the 118th member of the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies (IFRC).For more than 50 years now, we have been providing humanitarian assistance to affected communities in Fiji.We are guided by & committed to the seven fundamental principles, inspired by the spirit of humanity and the strength of our volunteers.Today, we have 3 Divisional Red Cross Centres around the country.The National Office of the Society is located in Fiji's capital, Suva where the Central-Division Red Cross Center Team is also based.
