Former Miss Pacific Islands Fuatino Moemoana Safaatoa Schwenke, has been announced as UNICEF Pacific’s Ambassador.
Fuatino will use her platforms and community engagement to help raise awareness of children’s rights across the Pacific. This includes access to quality and inclusive education; health and nutrition services; water, sanitation, and hygiene facilities as well as protection from violence and abuse among other areas.
Also known for her climate advocacy, she says, “I am deeply humbled to accept this appointment as UNICEF’s Pacific Ambassador. This is a continued commitment to what I believe is the soul of our region: our children,”
“I offer myself fully to the work ahead, grounded in uplifting the needs, dreams and voices of our children and young people across our Blue Pacific Continent. I have met thousands of children across the Pacific in all the beautifully diverse parts of our region and they have been my inspiration.”
UNICEF Pacific’s representative Jonathan Veitch says, “We are so excited to welcome Moemoana into the UNICEF family as an ambassador. Such a strong and inspirational role model for our young generation.”
The 24 year old joins the current UNICEF Pacific Ambassadors including Pita Taufatofua and Gladys Habu.
