A constant stream of supplies are being shipped over to Kiriwina for our VBA training week at the end of October. As the network has been down for weeks our fabulous in-country manager is flying over to Kiriwina next weekend to help co-ordinate the arrangements for our visit. It is all getting very exciting… and close, only 23 more sleeps…
We are in need of some extra funds for this trip to the Island. Please Donate Here

Our in-country manager has been delayed in Alotau as the boat he was meant to be traveling on was not ready to leave. He is taking donated sporting gear for the local schools and Birthing Kits for the Losuia Health Centre. He is also meeting with the head VBA’s to inform them of the next training sessions progress, delivering the remaining birthing kits for distribution to all VBA’s on Kiriwina. Hopefully the boat will be ready to leave Alotau tomorrow.
Thank you to everyone who has enabled us to make this happen.
The Caring for Kiriwina Team.

What a fabulous initiative St. Vincent’s Day is at St Vincent’s College Potts Point.
Caring For Kiriwina has been the beneficiary of the College’s Social Justice initiatives for the past few years and thankfully the College have continued to support our work by organising the purchasing of the Birthing Kit materials, packaging the kits and sending them onto our representatives in PNG.
This year we were honored to be invited to talk to the girls about our work in the Trobriands. Thankfully our team member Vanessa Palfreeman made herself available yesterday to help communicate the realities of our operation to the students.
Our immense gratitude goes to teachers Sue Thomas and Simone Lock, Head of De Lacy House and De Lacy House for continuing to support this vital work.

The newspaper article goes on to say that “We have 733 maternal deaths per 100,000 live births, which is like 1,500 to 2,000 women dying every year.”
The team at CFK are continuing to work towards traveling to Kiriwina for the third week of June this year despite the heightened level of difficulty, the airport is still closed and due to landholder disputes there seems to be no sign of it being reopened any time soon. The VBA’s have told us that they feel isolated and desperate and we will try and make sure we fulfill the commitments we have made to them, even if we end up being a bit delayed. There are now additional costs involved in traveling to the Island. All donations welcome. Please Donate CLICK HERE or visit our DONATION SHOP.
