DFAT have postponed awarding the Round 2 Friendship Grants due to the uncertainty and rapidly changing situation associated with COVID-19. An announcement will be made as soon as possible about the program.

We would like to take this opportunity to thank the Australian Government for their support of our charity. Their funds have allowed Caring For Kiriwina (CFK) to exceed its targets and deliver results. Increasing the positive outcomes for not only our mothers, girls and children but all Kiriwinans.

Although this global COVID-19 pandemic has put a hold on this funding avenue Kiriwinan’s still need our support. We would like to take this opportunity to reaffirm Caring for Kiriwina’s commitment to continuing to supply Birthing and Dignity Kits, and the many other essential health and hygiene items that we need to send to Kiriwina. This help is only made possible through the continued generous support and commitment of our other wonderful volunteers and donors.

Good luck CFK VBA Ruth Noah, we hope your review goes well!

We introduced you over a year ago to one of our heroic VBA’s, Ruth Noah. A mango tree branch had fallen on her during a violent storm and her leg was broken, she then had to endure an extremely rough, long boat ride to seek medical help. Although Ruth still has a broken leg she is very keen to work as a VBA, she attends all training sessions etc. She is now in Alotau for review. Ruth is using one crutch rather then two. She says she still feels pain but is hoping for a speedy recovery to enable her to return home.

Good Luck Ruth! We hope the review goes well. xx

These women are the glue that keeps the Kiriwinan community together. We love them and are so proud of what they do for their communities and that we are able to support them in our small way. Another five boxes made up of Birthing Kits, Dignity Kits, condoms, with extra soaps and gloves winging are on their way to help them in their good work. Thanks to our sponsors and donors. A great team effort!!!

Thank you so much Acu-fit Thirroul for your generous support of CFK. Love you guys.

None of Caring for Kiriwina’s success would have been possible in the past 10 years without the incredible organisational and managerial skills of our CFK in-country manager Toks Bwaina. Without his skillful management of the extremely difficult logistical tasks undertaken by CFK none of our wonderful results would have been possible. Toks Bwaina is a wonderful soul who has volunteered hours of his time for the benefit of his people. Caring for Kiriwina would like to take this opportunity to thank you Toks from the bottom of our hearts!!!
