Kiriwinan VBA’s celebrating our time with them in 2017. Merry Christmas and wishing you all a Happy and Healthy 2018.
Yeah! Shea to the rescue! See new embedded video of our joyous final celebrations before coming back to Australia. This video shows the Kiriwian people celebrating our time with them and shows the love and joy experienced by all. Thank you all for an amazing 2017, we feel it is a huge honor to be able to work with the beautiful Kiriwan people in this way and we are all looking forward to continuing this beautiful, blessed relationship in 2018 and beyond. Thank you for the beautiful video and photos Shea Caplice.

NEW Chux Biodegradable Cleaning Superwipes included in VBA Birthing Kits
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.

About Kiriwina
Thank you so much Caring for Kiriwina midwife educator Shea and her son film producer Lincoln Caplice for producing this fabulous video that expresses the essence of day to day life on Kiriwina. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts, the video brought tears to our eyes.
Thank you CT Freight for your support for our 2017 Trip
Thank you for your support Kyeemagh Community Preschool
Caring for Kiriwina would like to thank Kyeemagh Community Preschool for their wonderful support for our VBA training trip April 2017. They donated pencils, soap and notepads.
Thanks to the Kiriwinan’s drive and initiative another 50 Birthing Kits are on their way…
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.
Thank you Send Hope Not Flowers for your ongoing support!

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
