Mary's Story - Weaving and Disappearing Crops

This video has been created for Lent 2026 to share Mary Nouri's experience of climate change in Fiji. Mary tells how rising sea levels and saltwater intrusion have destroyed the pandanus plants on her farm – plants she relies on to weave mats for selling at the market. Her story powerfully illustrates how climate change threatens not just land and food sources, but livelihoods and cultural traditions. Mary demonstrates the Catholic social teaching principle of Participation through her determination to adapt and find new ways forward together. This Week 4 Lent resource connects to our theme of Vision – calling us to see how climate justice connects to economic justice, and to stand in solidarity with Pacific communities facing these challenges.
