We’re thrilled to share that we’ve shipped 100 baby knits to Kiriwina! A huge thank you to Sandy and John Reid for facilitating this effort and to the talented knitters and sewers from Belrose Country Club and Willandra Village. These cherished items are in high demand and will greatly benefit the community. Together, we’re making a positive impact, one stitch at a time.

On November 8th, our Mobile Clinic team gathered for an important meeting with birth attendants in the coastal village of Teyava. Dressed in their CFK uniforms, the birth attendants came together to participate in reporting that aimed to enhance their skills and knowledge. This contact is crucial as it empowers these dedicated individuals to continue providing essential care to the community.

We’ve captured a moment from the meeting, which you can check out in the photo. While we apologise for the quality, we’re grateful to have these images as a reminder of our work together.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our sponsors and donors. Your generous support makes this vital work possible and helps us continue to improve healthcare in underrepresented areas.

Stay tuned for more updates as we strive to make a difference in the lives of those in Teyava and beyond!

Here are more images from Kiriwina featuring our Village Birth Volunteers (VBAs) working with mothers and their babies. We also have news that the next shipment of medicines has arrived in Port Moresby, ready for its challenging journey to Kiriwina. We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all our sponsors and donors who have supported us in keeping Kiriwina’s mothers and babies safe. We couldn’t have achieved this without your help. Together, we are making a difference and empowering women to bring healthy babies into the world.

We’re thrilled to announce that our mobile health clinics have successfully completed their first visits to expectant mothers on the island! After a year-long pause due to funding challenges, they’re back and ready to serve our communities.

Midwives from the Louisa Health Centre, along with our dedicated Village Birth Attendant (VBA) coordinator, have reached mothers, babies, and VBAs in remote villages.

We celebrate this significant milestone and recognise all who contributed to making this possible. This is just the beginning of our journey!
