We’d like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to P&O Cruises Australia for their invaluable support in making a significant difference in the lives of the women and children of Kiriwina. Thanks to their generous assistance, our donations were safely delivered earlier this month. The ship’s officer delivered birthing kits directly to our CFK representatives who were eagerly awaiting the ships arrival.

Due to a lack of transport and the closure of the airport, the isolated community of Kiriwina has been facing exorbitant delivery costs and desperate circumstances. The impact of P&O Cruises Australia’s support cannot be overstated.

We are thrilled to be able to continue this wonderful partnership and are incredibly grateful for the opportunity to work together. P&O Cruises Australia, we appreciate you and the positive impact you have made on the lives of those in need. A huge thank you to Lynne Scrivens and Simone Pighini for working so collaboratively with us to achieve such a successful outcome.

Our agents in Kaibola, Losuia, and Alotau have all received much-needed new phones. Communication is vital, and although internet access can be limited, it is very important to try to keep our communications alive by any means available. Here’s a great photo of Bokawau from Losuia and Daniel from Kaibola receiving their new phones. Yay! 🌟📱 #CommunicationIsKey #TeamWork #caringforkiriwina #strong womenstrongbabies

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! 💙🌸

Yesterday, we remembered the great Rev Dr. Ralph Lawton on the third anniversary of his passing. His contributions to the world and the Kiriwinan people will never be forgotten. It’s also been a year since the Kiriwinan’s organised a beautiful celebration of his life. Check out this short video of the event at LAWTON DAY 2023 – THE MOVIE – Caring For Kiriwina Ltd. Let’s honour his legacy by continuing to spread love and kindness in our communities.
