How One Family Business is Transforming Life in Mualevu Village

Meet Ledua Lasa, a dedicated entrepreneur from Mualevu Village, Vanua Balavu, in Fiji's Lau Group, whose family business is transforming everyday life in their remote island community. What began in 2023 with just one vehicle has grown into a thriving transport business by 2026, now operating three vehicles—including two 4x4 vehicles and a 3-tonne carrier truck that provides reliable transportation for local school children. Beyond transport, the business also operates a village shop and supplies essential fuels such as diesel, kerosene, and premix, ensuring the community has access to everyday necessities. Supported by his brother and sons, who proudly serve as drivers, Ledua and his family provide dependable transport services for residents, government personnel, and anyone in need. Operating in a remote maritime community comes with its challenges, but their commitment to honest service, hard work, and community development continues to drive their success.
