The founder of housing project Koroipita says he recognises New Zealand has its own housing problems and he's working to engage other funding partners.
New Zealand Aid helps fund Koroipita which was founded by Peter Drysdale in 1985 after cyclones Eric and Nigel hit the western part of Viti Levu.
It has since become a model for healthy, sustainable, cyclone proof housing.
Peter Drysdale told Daniela Maoate-Cox the partnership with New Zealand has 'been a dream' but he's aware New Zealand has its own housing issues and Koroipita is working to find funding from other places as well.
