SAVE the Children Fiji needs at least $650,000 to feed 5000 children affected by last month's flood.

The organisation has $150,000 and registered 2282 children under a five-week feeding program that began two weeks ago in the Western Division.

"We have recorded about 5000 children that need our help but so far we're only able to help those within our budget," said chief executive officer, Chandra Shekhar. The fund hopes to cater for the 28 schools for 10 weeks.
