Thank you so much to all our sponsors and donors who made this food security donation possible; this donation has helped avert a humanitarian crisis on Kiriwina that the recent conflict has generated.

Photos of basic food staples such as rice, sugar, tinned food, noodles, teabags, flour, and cooking oil distributed to Kavataria, Mulosaida and Oyabia/Rabesi communities.

Further distributions of rice and sugar have been delivered to Losuia, Kwemtula and Osesuya communities.

A thousand thanks to all who contributed !!! 👏👏👏👏😍

CFK has been busy over the holiday break, and we have big plans for 2023. We will be sure to keep you posted.

Due to shortage of basic drugs and other medical items the only health Centre on an Island of over 55,000 people, Losuia Health Centre, has closed to all but the most life threatening cases, it is currently closed for out patients.

The people of Kiriwina are in a serious health threatening situation if Health Authorities and local MP do not address the issue.

Please donate or contact us if you have any supplies you wish to donate:

Thanks to Postman Andy, another 150 birthing kits, donated prescription glasses and sunglasses have started their long journey to Kiriwina. Unfortunately, the lifesaving airstrip created by the ANZACs in WW2 has fallen into disrepair, only small charter planes can land and there is no other transport to this remote Island other than a two-day boat ride :0. Could the authorities please look into repairing this essential airstrip as an urgent priority!!!
