Photos of the CFK VBA supplies recently being distributed to the VBA’s and VHV Jansen, on Kiriwina. What a journey it has been to get there… and safely, yay! Thank you to all our donors and supporters #DFAT, #FriendshipGrants.
Finally, the water pump is about to be fixed!
We have been desperate to find a solution to the damaged water pump that serviced approx 5,000 people from the main Kiriwinan Village of Kavataria and have spoken to many organisations about possible solutions. At last we have managed to manufacture the missing part and we are now sending a Kiriwinan from the mainland, with the necessary skills, over the Kiriwina to fix the pump. Yeah!
In PNG Post Courier newspaper today…
More Birthing Kits and other useful items winging their way to Kiriwina for Christmas
Our In-Country Manager will be flying over from Alotau to Kiriwina towards the end of December with boxes and boxes of essential items. The x 74 headlamps were mailed yesterday and x 50 Birthing Kits including underpants and additional fabric/ reusable/washable menstrual pads have been sent to replace the disposable pads normally used. Rubbish is a massive problem on Kiriwina and hopefully this will help reduce the amount of rubbish on the Island.
We are thrilled to announce – Caring for Kiriwina has been successful in our recent application to DFAT for an Australian Aid Friendship Grant!

Thank you Big W for the underwear!
Thank you Big W for donating the bras and undies. The Kiriwians were very grateful, particularly elderly women who feel very exposed when stepping on and off boats.
Very grateful. Thank you again for your generosity.
