SCHOOL STATS
St Vincent College was established 115 years ago in the Marist tradition and today caters for 450 students. Its students are aged between 5 and 18 years old. Many of the students’ families live either on the outer islands or the interior highlands, and most struggle to pay the school fees.
HOW YOUR DONATION HELPS
Every dollar helps. Even the smallest contribution ensures that the children, most of which cannot afford to attend other schools or come from troubled families, are given an opportunity to learn and thrive.

All ChildrenMIKE & MIA
Michael & Mia Coombs often holidayed in Fiji, though after a few visits to the less commercial parts, they were compelled to create a charity that supported the education and quality of life and facilities of the children on the island.
Michael and Mia reached out to John McGrath and with a little help from Lote Tuqiri met Father Joe Tuimavule. There was no turning back, trips to St Vincents College (Secondary & primary school) Natovi .
FATHER JOE
Born in Fiji & from humble beginnings, Father Joe studied and worked in a bank. He soon realised that banking was not aligned with his core values so he studied theology and became a Priest. Father Joe is the leader of the Father Joe Foundation.
Father Joe wants to help the struggling children, provide them with an opportunity of a better education and encourage them to be the best they can be and to believe in themselves.
