CFK’s plumber, Mr Koega, has managed to fix the Boys pump at Kiriwina High School. Now both pumps are now in operation. We are buying more rubbers cups and send to Mr Koega asap.
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!!!
Kiriwina High School pump was fixed by CFK plumber Koega yesterday and is now working. The boys pump requires rubber cups that we are sourcing these as we write this post…

Video 3 – Appeal for a water pump
My name is Joyce and my husband’s name is Melivala. I am from Buduwelaka village (village situated at end of Trobriand airport runway). Our problem is sourcing good water. We walk long distances to fetch water. In the past a pump was installed (by European Union), however, the pump is no longer functioning and we cannot afford to repair the pump. We have gone five years back facing same problems in the past of sourcing good and clean water for drinking. For this reason my community is in desperate need of good clean water to help the people and children. My appeal now is for a water pump to be installed to help my community. The distance we walk to fetch water is approximately 20 – 30 kilometers. The population is approximately 200 people. I given my consent for my photo and this video to be viewed by viewers. Thank you.
CFK provides a perfect opportunity for the women to take a break from their everyday domestic duties and meet to discuss the wider issues they and their families are facing on Kiriwina. Women power at its best!

We are very sad to report that one of our wonderful VBA’s, Elisa from Kaduwaga Village, is critically ill with throat cancer. She has trouble speaking and can only manage soup. We are all very sad to hear this news and send her and her family our love and prayers.
