AT TISA Insurance – formerly Capital Insurance Limited, we believe that when we empower women, we strengthen families, communities, and our nation.

The theme of International Women’s Day 2026 – “Give to Gain” reflects a powerful truth: when we invest in women, the benefits extend far beyond individuals. Businesses grow stronger, families become more resilient, and communities become more prosperous.

Across TISA Insurance, women play a vital role in shaping our organisation. Many of our leaders and team members bring dedication, innovation, and service excellence to the people and businesses we serve every day.

Our commitment goes beyond the workplace. We believe organisations have a responsibility to support the broader community and create opportunities for women to grow, lead, and succeed.

In 2026, TISA Insurance is proud to serve as a Platinum Sponsor of the WIN Convention, working alongside the Fiji Commerce & Employers Federation and the Women Entrepreneurs Business Council to support women entrepreneurs, leadership development, and economic participation across Fiji.

We are also proud to work alongside organisations that are making a meaningful difference in our communities.

The Corona Women’s Network Fiji has been a powerful force in supporting women through initiatives such as dignity bag programmes and outreach activities that provide essential hygiene products and support to women and girls. Their work restores dignity and opportunity while helping women face life’s challenges with confidence.

“Corona Worldwide – Fiji Branch brings together women from many cultures and backgrounds to build friendship, share experiences, and support the community. Through initiatives such as our fundraising for CWM Hospital and other charities, including the provision of dignity bags and our hospital trolley programme, we aim to make a meaningful difference while creating a welcoming network for women living in Fiji. We appreciate the support of organisations like TISA Insurance that value community partnership and women supporting women.”

President, Corona Worldwide — Fiji Branch, Annemarie de Vos

TISA Insurance is also honoured to support the work of Being Helping Hands Fiji, a compassionate community organisation that provides dignity drives, outreach initiatives, and practical support to vulnerable families across Fiji. Their dedication reflects the true spirit of community service and care.

“Being Helping Hands Fiji was founded with a simple mission – to reach out to those who are struggling and remind them that they are not alone. Through food assistance, education support, and healthcare initiatives, we aim to bring dignity and hope to vulnerable families. Partnerships with organisations such as TISA Insurance help us expand this mission and reach more communities across Fiji.”

Founder, Being Helping Hands Fiji, Razia Mohammed

“Community support initiatives are essential in ensuring that vulnerable families receive the care and assistance they need. Being Helping Hands Fiji and Prestige Skills Training Academy are committed to providing practical assistance and outreach programmes to those facing hardship. Partnerships with organisations such as TISA Insurance help strengthen these efforts and expand the positive impact across our communities.”

Director, Prestige Skills Training Academy, Dr Swartika Nair

Through partnerships with organisations such as Corona Women’s Network Fiji and Being Helping Hands Fiji, TISA Insurance is proud and privileged to support initiatives that uplift communities and create meaningful change.

Our broader commitment includes internships and engagement with women entrepreneurs to promote financial literacy, resilience, creativity, sustainability, and entrepreneurship.

Together, these initiatives reflect our belief that when businesses invest in people and communities, we build a stronger and more inclusive future.

“Empowering women is the right thing to do, and is essential for building stronger communities and a more resilient economy. At TISA Insurance, we are proud to support initiatives that uplift women, strengthen families, and contribute to a brighter future for Fiji.”

TISA Insurance (Fiji) Ltd, chief executive officer, David Ariff Chan

As Fiji celebrates International Women’s Day, we reaffirm our commitment to supporting women across our workplace, our partnerships, and our communities. Because when women succeed, Fiji succeeds.
