Christmas Traditions with Loloma Home

Tanoa International Hotel proudly continued its long-standing Christmas tradition, hosting its annual Christmas Gift Drive for children from Loloma Home, a heartfelt initiative that has been running since 2017.

Founded in 2009, Loloma Home & Care Centre offers a safe haven for single mothers and their children, providing shelter, care, and support during times of vulnerability. The home empowers women to regain independence and move forward with confidence, dignity, and hope.

Held on 17 December at the hotel’s newly renovated TANOA Conference Room, the event brought together hotel management and staff to create a joyful, celebratory experience for the children.

The day began with the presentation of Christmas gifts, followed by a shared lunch and an afternoon of fun and laughter, including time spent enjoying the hotel pool. For many of the children, it was a rare opportunity to relax, play, and feel truly celebrated during the festive season.

Area General Manager – Fiji, Mr Narend Kumar, said the initiative reflects the values deeply embedded within the Tanoa Hotels group.

“It is heartwarming to see our team come together year after year to make a positive difference in the lives of these children. Christmas is a time for giving, and we are proud to support the community that has always supported us.”

General Manager of Tanoa International Hotel, Mr Daniel Roy, highlighted the emotional impact of the day.

“Seeing the joy and excitement on the children’s faces is truly priceless. Moments like these remind us of the power of kindness, compassion, and community spirit especially during the festive season.”

While the Christmas Gift Drive is led by Tanoa International Hotel, it forms part of a broader, holistic commitment to community wellbeing shared across the Reddy Group, including the Reddy Foundation.

Each year, the hotel proudly contributes venue, meals, entertainment, staffing, and resources, ensuring the children experience not just a single moment of generosity but a full day of warmth, dignity, and celebration.

By sustaining this initiative for nearly a decade, Tanoa International Hotel continues to build meaningful relationships with Loloma Home and reinforces its commitment to giving back in ways that are personal, consistent and impactful.

Through acts of kindness like this embodies the true spirit of Christmas, one rooted in generosity, compassion and lasting community connection.
