Our incredible knitters and chemist contributors have done it again! P&O Cruises Australia is generously delivering the latest batch of donations, including an ample supply of medicines from the wonderful Pharmacy Select Balgowlah and pens for the school’s yearly exams, which are in desperate demand. We’re also overjoyed to have received more baby clothes from the generous ladies at Belrose Country Club and St. Swithun’s Church Pymble. Thank you for all your unwavering support for the women and children of Kiriwina🙌👏 .

We are thrilled to announce that after a year-long hiatus of delivery in services, CFK has partnered with the Milne Bay Public Health Authority and the Losuia Health Centre to launch the Losuia Health Centre and Caring for Kiriwina Mobile Health Clinic, starting on October 9th, 2024. This joint clinic will provide medical services to remote villages across the island and surrounding islands by sea. This initiative was made possible through the partnership between our Milne Bay Public Health Authority and the Losuia Health Centre, our donors and supporters, and our Caring For Kiriwina representatives on the island. The sections that will be visited are Kilivilia 1 & 2, Kumboma, Kulumata, Luba, Sinaketa, Kaduwaga, and Kitava. Best of luck to everyone involved! Stay tuned for more updates 🙂

We are pleased to announce that donations received from P&O have arrived at the CFK headquarters at Losuia Heath Centre on Kiriwina and are ready to be distributed fairly across the island. Thank you for your generous support in helping us positively impact our community. Take a look at our staff’s striking orange short-sleeved uniforms. 🙂

We had a fruitful quarterly meeting with the MBPHA in Alotau, where we discussed the ongoing partnership with CFK. We are excited to share that our collaboration aims to ensure continuous village clinic visits across the island and its outlying areas. Thank you so much MBPHA for your ongoing support. Stay tuned for more updates as we work towards implementing these groundbreaking initiatives!
