Thanks to the wonderful generosity of the knitters from the Belrose and Willandra Village, and St Swithuns Church, our CFK mothers and their babies now have stunning new knits to cherish. Special thanks to Sandy and her husband, John, for their exceptional efforts in managing the donations. Last week, our incredible in-country manager, Toks, captured some beautiful photos of our mothers and babies adorned in their new knits. This heartwarming sight is sure to bring a smile to your face :).

Our agents in Kaibola, Losuia, and Alotau have all received much-needed new phones. Communication is vital, and although internet access can be limited, it is very important to try to keep our communications alive by any means available. Here’s a great photo of Bokawau from Losuia and Daniel from Kaibola receiving their new phones. Yay! 🌟📱 #CommunicationIsKey #TeamWork #caringforkiriwina #strong womenstrongbabies

e-NEWS Caring For Kiriwina – EOFY update
June 2024

Dear Friend,

The island of Kiriwina is currently facing urgent challenges related to maternal health and aid delivery. Limited use of contraceptives and the lack of flights to the island have led to a significant increase in birth rates in some villages in April 2024 compared to January 2024. The situation emphasises the critical need for support. The absence of flights has also resulted in higher costs and logistical challenges in delivering aid. Efforts are underway to collaborate with cruise ships to provide assistance in delivering birthing kits when they visit Kiriwina.

To tackle these challenges, we are considering training Village Birth Attendants (VBAs) from Kiriwina in Alotau on the mainland, while exploring alternative ways to access Kiriwina. It is crucial to be able to observe how our programs are being implemented, and to maintain delivery of birthing kits and the rest of our essential donations to the Island.

These challenges demand immediate attention and support. We are dedicated to finding innovative solutions and are eager to continue collaborating to bring about a positive impact on the lives of the people of Kiriwina. We express our gratitude to all our generous sponsors and donors for their continuing support, and we extend our thanks to our partners at the Milne Bay Public Health Authority (MBPHA) for their ongoing assistance.

We want to give a huge shoutout to Barb, a wonderful P&O passenger, for going above and beyond to deliver essential birthing kits and children’s clothes to our CFK Village Birth Attendant coordinator, Bokawau, last week.

Due to the airport closure, the delivery of these crucial items to our people on Kiriwina would have taken months, but thanks to Barb, they reached us in just a week! 🚢

We’re reaching out to any other passengers who might be interested in helping our cause. Your support can make a real difference and save lives. We will make sure to mail you the items. Please consider joining us in this meaningful endeavor! 💌

We’re thrilled to share that birthing kits for cruise ship passengers are en route to support our wonderful Village birth attendants on Kiriwina. Due to a high pregnancy rate, we need more birthing kits, and the generous support from two passengers has made a world of difference for the hundreds of mothers and babies we aim to assist. We are grateful for the impact you are making! Special thanks to the amazing, incomparable Miss Kathy for volunteering to help pack these kits for urgent delivery. Thank you for your support! #MakingADifference #SupportingMothersAndBabies #caringforkiriwina #strongwomenstrongbabies #reopenkiriwinaairport #P&Ocruisepassengers #P&Ocruises #PacificPrincessCruises

Yesterday, we remembered the great Rev Dr. Ralph Lawton on the third anniversary of his passing. His contributions to the world and the Kiriwinan people will never be forgotten. It’s also been a year since the Kiriwinan’s organised a beautiful celebration of his life. Check out this short video of the event at LAWTON DAY 2023 – THE MOVIE – Caring For Kiriwina Ltd. Let’s honour his legacy by continuing to spread love and kindness in our communities.

We’re thrilled to announce that the latest batch of medical, knitted, birthing, and dignity kits have finally arrived in PNG! A big thanks to all the amazing volunteers, sponsors, and donors who made this possible. It’s always a moment of celebration when we receive confirmation that our much-needed donations have made it to Port Moresby. Now, we need to transport the supplies via plane to Alotau, followed by a slow boat journey to Kiriwina. We’re sending our best wishes for a safe and speedy journey to their final destination. Let’s continue to work together to support those in need!
