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.

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.
Video 2 – Kenobasi Water Pump
My name is Belinda Dobuya. I live in Kiriwina in a ward called Okaikoda ward. I serve two community wards namely Okaikoda ward and Obowada ward. Alright in 2005, oh no. In 1995, I started the work of a VBA, however, I had a serious problem of sourcing clean water to wash the new born babies and clean drinking water for the mothers. In 2018 I was relieved when CFK through the country manager Toks who have mobilized all the VBA’s on Kiriwina to work together as a team. The CFK installed the pump in my village which has helped and improved the standard of life of the new born babies and their mothers. However, the water was a high demand for the entire community and the whole community used the water pump for drinking and cooking. Now the pump is no longer in operation and I am making a desperate appeal for a better pump to be installed and can last longer to serve the new born babies, mothers and the community as a whole as source of water in this part of Kiriwina Island is scarce and difficult to obtain. I give my consent for my photo and this video to be viewed by viewers.

Video 1 – Kuluwa Water Pump
My name is Rebecca. My husband’s name is William. I am from Kuluwa Village.
Before the installation of the water pump we normally fetch water at the swamp a long distance away from the village. When the rain comes the water wells are muddy and contaminated however we still fetch water for drinking. When there is dry spell we dig deeper water wells about 1 to 2 meters deep to find water. We wash new born babies from these contaminated water from the wells. Now that the water pump has being installed in my village, the pump has made a significant improvement in the lives of my people. We now have access to clean water at our door step. We use the water for drinking, cooking and helped the pregnant mothers and mothers who have delivered and their babies. My village has a total population of 400 people.
