BK supports education
The world’s fastest growing hamburger chain – Burger King con-
tinues to carry out its philanthropic obligations in the country.
The popular restaurant franchise which has been operating in Fiji
since 2015 has been working closely with the Foundation for the Edu-
cation of Needy Children in Fiji (FENC Fiji) since 2016 to support the
educational needs of deprived children across the country.
All the five Burger King outlets in Fiji carry donation boxes to sup-
port FENC Fiji raise funds for their various activities which includes
support to students in the form of scholarships covering basic school
supplies such as school uniforms, shoes, bags, books and stationeries
for primary and secondary school children.
Since 2016, Burger King has raised over $58,000 for FENC Fiji
through the generous donations received in the form of loose change
from its customers.
On Friday, June 21, the company handed over the latest collection
of $8,000 to FENC Fiji at its flagship restaurant in Martintar, Nadi.
“We are proud to have collected this money on behalf of FENC Fiji
which will be used to help educate children who come from impov-
erished backgrounds,” Burger King general manager Akash Narsey
said.
“Education is a key element in escaping poverty and we are dedi-
cated in doing our part in assisting FENC Fiji in doing their part for
the children of Fiji,” Mr Narsey added.
He also thanked all Burger King patrons who have donated gener-
ously towards a noble cause.
While accepting the donation, FENC Fiji financial controller Priya
Lata thanked the management and staff of Burger King for making a
difference in the society by partnering with the organisation in their
fundraising efforts.
“The donation and continued support from Burger King will go a
long way in assisting us to make education accessible to the poorest of
the poor children of Fiji enabling them to break the cycle of poverty
and become resourceful citizens of Fiji,” Ms Lata said.
Established in 2010 and officially launched by Prime Minister Jo-
saia Voreqe Bainimarama, FENC Fiji plays a pivotal role by empow- Burger King general manager Akash Narsey hands over the dona-
