Our CFK VBAs are off to a great start in their new office and we couldn’t be more excited! We are absolutely thrilled to receive photos and videos from their first leaders meeting. Seeing our team working together in this new space is truly inspiring. Thank you for sharing these moments with us!

Thanks again to the MBPHA and Losuia Health Centre for making this all possible.

Stay tuned for more updates 👏👏👏

We installed these pumps four years ago to provide clean drinking water to remote villages. Thanks to these pumps, many lives have been saved. However, the pumps need regular maintenance, which requires money. Would you be willing to donate $5 a month to help us maintain these pumps? Your donation will help hundreds of villages gain access to clean drinking water, which is crucial for good health and wellbeing.

PLEASE DONATE NOW!

Here are photos from our in-country manager, Toks Bwaina’s, most recent trip to Kiriwina last week. The purpose of the trip was not only to check on the status of the food security program but all our programs, including the water pumps for the clean drinking water project. He meet the VBA’s and deliver the birthing kits, lanterns, uniforms, medicines etc to them and the to the Losuia Health Volunteer. Toks also delivered more dignity kits to the Kiriwina High School.

Thank you to all our wonderful donors and sponsors… more help is needed to fix our water pumps; many are requiring parts and labour :(.

It is a joy that we can be a part of Margaret ‘s vision to improve the lives of the people of Kiriwina. We value our connection to this work which is life-giving and enriching in providing access to healthy birthing, addressing food security and clean water, and supporting the education of students in a very remote part of our world.

The Convenor of the Yarralumla Uniting Church Arts and Crafts Committee, Lynne Thomson.

Our eternal gratitude goes out to the Yarralumla Church congregation for their ongoing support for the Rev Dr Ralph and Margaret Lawton‘s life’s work and legacy.

Kamatokisi!

The Strength of a Mother
A mother’s strength is like no other,
Through every hardship and every bother,
She keeps us strong and keeps us whole,
With love and care that never grows old.

We celebrate all midwives worldwide with a special thank you to our CFK educators and VBAs for their outstanding achievements over the past ten years. Here is a speech and photos from our LAWTON day reporting trip to Kiriwina held during the last two weeks of April.

Now the VBAs have been following the education now women are recognised, especially the VBAs. Women are counted now. A great legacy.

And after three long years, we will also take this opportunity to meet up with our wonderful CFK in-country and Island volunteers, our fabulous VBAs and the Losuia Health Centre to check on the progress of all our projects on the Island and to deliver much-needed support. Please be sure to look out for further updates.
