We are constantly reflecting on our practices to make sure we alleviate problems on the Islands and do not add to them. We include as many biodegradable products as humanly possible into our Birthing Kits and the NEW Chux Biodegradable Cleaning Superwipes adds to our ability to include yet another environmentally friendly item. Thank you Chux.

With the airport still out of action a CFK representative will take these kits over to the Island, possibly by boat from Alotau. Thank you so much Lepani, we really appreciate your help. And thanks also to our friendly Australia Post staff.

We love good news! And today we received a wonderful progress report from one of our partner organisations, Caring for Kiriwina, which took a group of volunteer Australian midwives to PNG last month to update the skills of Village Birth Attendants. Expecting around 80 attendees, our incredible midwives catered for more than 170 – some coming from extremely remote areas to attend the week-long course. Armed with new skills and knowledge, these Village Birth Attendents will be able to better assist vulnerable birthing mothers. They are on the front line of lowering PNG’S maternal mortality rate. And we could not be prouder! #sendhopenotflowers #maternalhealth #caringforkiriwina #safebirth #villagebirthattendent #training #mothersday #donate #helpussavelives
Sydney’s rain today reminds me of….
To all our Kiriwinan Mother’s, our Caring for Kiriwina partners and donors, our heart felt gratitude for your love and devotion.
Have a very Happy Mother’s Day!
