We will be sending up to five water pumps over to Kiriwina in the next couple of weeks to be installed in the villages that are most in need. These pumps are perfect for these conditions, originally designed in 1848, Gould’s heavy duty hand operated pump with open spout has a proven track record for reliability in these extreme working conditions.

Thank you to DFAT and the Friendship Grant and all our other sponsors and donors for allowing the life saving work to continue. Thank you!!!! @DFAT, @FriendshipGrants, #DFAT, #FriendshipGrants
