There are just 4 days until the end of the financial year.

On Kiriwina Island, women and children face challenges most of us will never know. With only one doctor on the island and only two trained midwives to support around 55,000 people across remote villages. Many families still struggle to access clean drinking water, essential health care, and the school supplies their children need.

Caring for Kiriwina works alongside local leaders, Village Birth Attendants, midwives, and teachers to change this. Your EOFY donation can help:

• Employ and support trained Kiriwinan midwives all year round
• Provide birthing kits and safe delivery supplies for mothers and babies
• Improve access to clean drinking water across villages
• Supply schools with essential materials and scholarships so children can stay in school

With only 4 days left until the end of the financial year, your tax-deductible gift can make a life-changing difference for Kiriwinan women and children.

Please donate today.

Because of our generous supporters, CFK can continue changing lives for women and children on Kiriwina. Every gift helps provide safety, opportunity, and hope.

One incredible partner is the Lions Club of Wheelers Hill.

Thanks to their generosity:

• Two new water tanks have been installed in two of the island’s most vulnerable areas, bringing clean, reliable water closer to families who need it most.
• Boarding costs for 10 students at Losuia Secondary School have been fully covered, giving these young people the chance to stay in school and pursue their dreams.

This remarkable gift has been further supported by Wesley College Junior School (St Kilda Campus), whose care and commitment are helping to transform young lives on Kiriwina.

Since 1994, the Lions Club of Wheelers Hill has built a proud tradition of standing beside those in need and supporting a wide range of people and organisations. Over the years, their members have volunteered thousands of hours and contributed almost $1 million in goods and services locally, across Australia, and around the world.

With a diverse and welcoming membership of 43 people from 13 different countries, the club continues to grow, innovate, and say “yes” to communities in need. Learn more about their incredible work at: https://lions201v5.org.au/wheelers-hill/

We sincerely thank Carnival Cruise passengers, Mary and her family, for delivering the donated items to our dedicated staff on Kiriwina. Your kindness truly makes a difference!

We hope you enjoy your time on Kiriwina, and thank you for your kindness and generosity.

If you are bringing donations, please hand them only to our registered charity volunteers, who will be waiting for you under our official banner at the landing area.

This is very important. When donations are given to individuals on the beach, we cannot:

• Ensure that items are distributed fairly and transparently
• Direct support to vital community services such as health centres and schools
• Reach the most vulnerable families who need help the most

By giving your donations to our charity team, you help us make sure that your gifts go exactly where you intended.

We would also like to extend our heartfelt thanks to those passengers who have already contacted us and to everyone who has kindly agreed to carry much-needed supplies. Your support makes an enormous difference, especially as the cost of transporting these life‑saving items to Kiriwina by other means is extremely high.

From all of us here, thank you for caring about our community and for helping us build a better future for Kiriwina.
