The Strength of a Mother
A mother’s strength is like no other,
Through every hardship and every bother,
She keeps us strong and keeps us whole,
With love and care that never grows old.
by R.M. Drake

We celebrate all midwives worldwide with a special thank you to our CFK educators and VBAs for their outstanding achievements over the past ten years. Here is a speech and photos from our LAWTON day reporting trip to Kiriwina held during the last two weeks of April.

Now the VBAs have been following the education now women are recognised, especially the VBAs. Women are counted now. A great legacy.

In keeping with CFK’s ethos to empower self-sustaining development, the VBAs are happy to start making their uniforms. We have sent funds to purchase the materials to sew their red skirts and new black Mary tops.

Thank you to our wonderful donors and supporters for allowing this good work to continue 👏

“As women thrive, so will we all,” United Nations Secretary

-General Ban Ki-moon

“The world will never realise 100 per cent of its goals if 50 per cent of its people cannot realise their full potential,” General Ban Ki-moon told the UN Commission.  While women bore the burden of conflict, war, discrimination and domestic violence, they were not just victims, but agents of progress.  Empowered women and girls were the best drivers of growth, the best hope for reconciliation and the best buffer against radicalisation of youth and the repetition of the cycle of violence, he stressed.

Today is a day for celebrating women. Supporting women and what they can achieve is more important than ever. Please support our Caring for Kiriwina Village Birth Attendants Program to create Strong women = Strong babies.

“Here’s to strong women: May we know them. May we be them. May we raise them.”

We are extremely honoured to be invited by the Bishop to an event celebrating Ralph and Margaret Lawton’s work with the Kiriwinan people scheduled for the last two weeks of April.

And after three long years, we will also take this opportunity to meet up with our wonderful CFK in-country and Island volunteers, our fabulous VBAs and the Losuia Health Centre to check on the progress of all our projects on the Island and to deliver much-needed support. Please be sure to look out for further updates.

Thank you to all our donors and sponsors for allowing this life-saving work to continue🙌.

Thank you so much to all our sponsors and donors who made this food security donation possible; this donation has helped avert a humanitarian crisis on Kiriwina that the recent conflict has generated.

Photos of basic food staples such as rice, sugar, tinned food, noodles, teabags, flour, and cooking oil distributed to Kavataria, Mulosaida and Oyabia/Rabesi communities.

Further distributions of rice and sugar have been delivered to Losuia, Kwemtula and Osesuya communities.

A thousand thanks to all who contributed !!! 👏👏👏👏😍
