Support Naitauba Island Projects

Support the Restoration of Naitauba since Cyclone Winston

Donate here to support the ongoing recovery of Naitauba Island from the damage done by Cyclone Winston in February 2016. This Category 5 storm - the strongest ever recorded in the Southern Hemisphere - affected much of Fiji. On Naitauba Island many structures were damaged or destroyed, and although many have since been repaired and strengthened, and a new school and cyclone shelter for the local Fijian families has been built, there is still several years of construction work to be done to replace all damaged and destroyed buildings.

Naitauba Reef Preservation

The Naitauba reef is of extraordinary beauty. Last year, a research team from the Univerity of the South Pacific studied the reef to assess and monitor the status of the reef. For ongoing monitoring there is the need to install research-quality data loggers to record ocean temperatures in and around Naitauba's reef. For more information go to www.naitaubareef.org off-site or contact David Forsythe via the contact form.

Naitauba on Solar Power

Solar energy development is an important project on Naitauba. Our goal is to minimize dependency on fossil fuels and increase Island self-sufficiency. A pilot project was launched in 2009 and the first phase of a large project was recently completed. The second phase of this project is planned for 2016. If you are moved to support solar power on Naitauba, please contact Cornel Naumann via the contact form for more information.

Adi Da Samrajashram Temples

Like everything else in the tropics, the Temples on Naitauba require dedicated care to protect these sacred places from deterioration, mold, corrosion, infestation. If you are moved to provide funds for the upkeep of the Temples on Naitauba, please contact Gilbert Evans or Bradley Crawford via the contact form.

Equipment for the Naitauba Clinic

The clinic provides essential medical and emergency services for all Naitauba residents, retreatants, staff, and their families. We also help with occasional emergencies for people from nearby islands. We go to great lengths to care for our vital equipment, and all of the units have life-cycles requiring periodic replacement or upgrade. For more information about current needs, please contact the clinic physicians Charles Seage, MD or Andrew Dorfman, MD, or the island manager Chris Merz, or via the contact form. We very much value your support.

Support Naitauba's scholarship program

Since 2005 devotees of Adi Da Samraj have sponsored a scholarship program which enables ten children from Ciqomi and a neighboring island to attend secondary school for up to 5 years. This program is known and admired throughout Fiji, and in addition to enhancing the lives and opportunities of the children involved and their families, very positively serves Naitauba's reputation and standing in the local area and nationally. If you would like to contribute to this program, contact Hanneke Vlaar via the contact form.

Specialized Skills and Expertise

If you have special skills in areas such as self-sufficiency, island and reef ecology, organic gardening or environmental protection, we invite you to contact island manager Chris Merz via the contact form about how you may be of service to Naitauba Island.
