The Foundation for the Education of Needy Children in Fiji (FENC Fiji) has opened applications for its 2026 Child Education Support Scheme, offering back-to-school assistance for children from the poorest families.

Since 2009, FENC Fiji has supported more than 39,000 children with essential school needs, ensuring no child is left behind in education.

This year, students from early childhood to Year 13 will receive school bags, books, and stationery to help them prepare for the new school year.

Parents and guardians can access application forms through FENC Fiji’s website, Facebook page, Selfless Fiji, and Ministry of Rural and Disaster Management offices.

Hard copies are also available in communities.

Completed applications must be submitted by November 8, 2025, with all required documents attached.

FENC Fiji reminds applicants that late submissions will not be accepted, as timely preparation is needed for purchasing and dispatch.

Hard copies can be delivered to the FENC Fiji office in Samabula, district offices, or posted to P.O. Box 2201, Government Buildings, Suva.

Driven by its mission to break the cycle of poverty through education, FENC Fiji continues to ensure that the most vulnerable children have the chance to learn, grow, and build brighter futures.
