Today marks the tenth anniversary of our beloved founder, Margaret Lawton’s passing. We feel her absence every day. Margaret’s spirit continues to guide all decisions at CFK, alongside the spirit of her husband, the Reverend Doctor Ralph Lawton. We are deeply grateful for the time we shared with them, and we know that their presence made the world a better place.

We are pleased to announce that thirty sturdy lanterns are en route to support the important work of the CFK Village birth attendants on the remote island of Kiriwina in Papua New Guinea. These lanterns will provide essential lighting and also symbolise hope and encouragement for the dedicated volunteers who assist mothers during childbirth in this vibrant community.

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!

We’re thrilled to announce that our mobile health clinics have successfully completed their first visits to expectant mothers on the island! After a year-long pause due to funding challenges, they’re back and ready to serve our communities.
Midwives from the Louisa Health Centre, along with our dedicated Village Birth Attendant (VBA) coordinator, have reached mothers, babies, and VBAs in remote villages.
We celebrate this significant milestone and recognise all who contributed to making this possible. This is just the beginning of our journey!

Thanks to the dedicated efforts of P&O-Carnival, including the logistics team, Ship security officer, Tom, and Crew, the much-needed contributions have reached their destination safely.

Just in, we’ve received heartwarming photos capturing the safe delivery of all our treasured donations by the incredible crew and passengers on the latest P&O cruise that docked on Kiriwina yesterday. We are immensely grateful for their support and commitment to making a positive impact.
