Last week, we had the joy of delivering Dignity Kits, pens, and pencils to the students at Kiriwina Secondary School. These kits and supplies will help support their education and ensure that they can manage their periods safely and hygienically.

Menstrual Hygiene Day, observed on May 28th, 2024, is a day of global significance. It raises awareness about menstrual stigma and discrimination, emphasises the importance of proper menstrual hygiene for maintaining health, and advocates for policies that support menstrual health and reduce economic barriers for women and girls.

Let’s work together to break down societal taboos and promote open conversations about menstruation. No woman or girl should be held back because of her period. Join us in raising awareness and working towards better menstrual hygiene for all! 💙🌸

We’re thrilled to share that birthing kits for cruise ship passengers are en route to support our wonderful Village birth attendants on Kiriwina. Due to a high pregnancy rate, we need more birthing kits, and the generous support from two passengers has made a world of difference for the hundreds of mothers and babies we aim to assist. We are grateful for the impact you are making! Special thanks to the amazing, incomparable Miss Kathy for volunteering to help pack these kits for urgent delivery. Thank you for your support! #MakingADifference #SupportingMothersAndBabies #caringforkiriwina #strongwomenstrongbabies #reopenkiriwinaairport #P&Ocruisepassengers #P&Ocruises #PacificPrincessCruises

We are incredibly grateful to Praxeis and Aero Healthcare for their incredibly generous donation. We’ve received 210 paramedics bags that will be distributed to our team on Kiriwina. Thank you so much for this incredible support!

“It’s the time of the year when we celebrate the work of midwives everywhere. IDM is a day of celebration, but also of highlighting how important the work of midwives is globally. This year, we are shining a light on the role midwives play in addressing the greatest health challenge of our time – climate change. #IDM2024 is both a celebration and a call to action for our planet and for midwifery.”

A message from the President of the ICM, Sandra Oyarzo Torres
Head VBA Ruth Boaz with babies and children she has brought into the world, Thank you so much Ruth!!! xxx

We would like to take a moment to express our heartfelt gratitude and appreciation to our CFK midwives in Australia, Shea and Jacqui, and specifically to the Kiriwinan midwife, Linesse, who is currently working at Losuia HC. We cannot thank you enough for the tireless efforts and dedication you put into your work every day.

We are proud of Linesse’s retired colleague, Bokawau, who is now a respected leader among the VBAs and the community. Bokawau provides valuable knowledge and experience to the VBAs and is doing a wonderful job of connecting the LHC and the CFK VBAs. We are blessed to have such amazing midwives and out wonderful VBA’s who go above and beyond to serve our community. Thank you for all that you do!
