On November 8th, our Mobile Clinic team gathered for an important meeting with birth attendants in the coastal village of Teyava. Dressed in their CFK uniforms, the birth attendants came together to participate in reporting that aimed to enhance their skills and knowledge. This contact is crucial as it empowers these dedicated individuals to continue providing essential care to the community.

We’ve captured a moment from the meeting, which you can check out in the photo. While we apologise for the quality, we’re grateful to have these images as a reminder of our work together.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to all our sponsors and donors. Your generous support makes this vital work possible and helps us continue to improve healthcare in underrepresented areas.

Stay tuned for more updates as we strive to make a difference in the lives of those in Teyava and beyond!

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! 💌

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! 💙🌸

At CFK, we celebrate and appreciate everything you do. We’re also excited to share that another shipment of donations has arrived on the Island. A big thank you to all the cruise ship passengers who have taken birthing kits on their journeys. Your support means the world to us!

However, we faced a significant challenge due to the lack of flights to the island, which resulted in substantial travel and security costs. But, we are grateful that the essential donations finally arrived, and it calls for a celebration!

🤔We would like to know, what is being done to resume flights to Kiriwina? Let’s work together to ensure that the island gets the support it needs. 💪

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.

We’re thrilled to announce that the latest batch of medical, knitted, birthing, and dignity kits have finally arrived in PNG! A big thanks to all the amazing volunteers, sponsors, and donors who made this possible. It’s always a moment of celebration when we receive confirmation that our much-needed donations have made it to Port Moresby. Now, we need to transport the supplies via plane to Alotau, followed by a slow boat journey to Kiriwina. We’re sending our best wishes for a safe and speedy journey to their final destination. Let’s continue to work together to support those in need!
