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

We want to give a huge shoutout to Barb, a wonderful P&O passenger, for going above and beyond to deliver essential birthing kits and children’s clothes to our CFK Village Birth Attendant coordinator, Bokawau, last week.

Due to the airport closure, the delivery of these crucial items to our people on Kiriwina would have taken months, but thanks to Barb, they reached us in just a week! 🚢

We’re reaching out to any other passengers who might be interested in helping our cause. Your support can make a real difference and save lives. We will make sure to mail you the items. Please consider joining us in this meaningful endeavor! 💌

We’re thrilled to share that birthing kits for cruise ship passengers are en route to support our wonderful Village birth attendants on Kiriwina. Due to a high pregnancy rate, we need more birthing kits, and the generous support from two passengers has made a world of difference for the hundreds of mothers and babies we aim to assist. We are grateful for the impact you are making! Special thanks to the amazing, incomparable Miss Kathy for volunteering to help pack these kits for urgent delivery.

STRONG WOMEN, STRONG BABIES!

We are reaching out to you today with an urgent request for your assistance. Our organization needs your help to transport crucial donations to Kiriwina. Unfortunately, flights to Kiriwina are currently unavailable, and critical donations need to be transported immediately.

We are kindly requesting you to help us deliver a small backpack containing birthing kits. This small contribution could make a significant difference in the lives of many mothers and newborns. Your generosity can help save lives and provide the necessary medical supplies to people in need.

We appreciate the great work done by Princess Cruise passengers Bert and Lynn, who have already demonstrated their generosity towards this cause. We kindly request you to follow their example and join us in this noble cause.

Please do not hesitate to contact us at INFO@CARINGFORKIRIWINA.ORG.AU if you feel compelled to help. Every contribution, no matter how small, is deeply appreciated and will make a significant difference in the lives of those who receive it.

We assure you that our team members will collect the backpacks on the island once the boat arrives, and we will take care of all the necessary arrangements to ensure that your donation reaches the people who need it the most.

Thank you for considering our request, and we are looking forward to your positive response.
