Only 13% of children in Papua New Guinea are registered. This significantly hinders children’s ability to access healthcare, education, and legal protections.

But change is here. Yesterday, the Government of Papua New Guinea launched the Civil and Identity Registration Act (CIR Act 2024) - a major leap to ensuring every child is counted, protected and given access to essential services through legal identity documents such as birth certificates and national identification cards.

Happy New Year to all our volunteers and supporters!

Our precious container is on the water bound for the Yangoru Saussia region of the East Sepik. It is due for arrival in late February.

Since 2022 when our last container arrived in Lae, we have seen shipping costs rise by 400%, it took us some time to find a route that would cost less than $20 000!!!! We were able to find a route that cost $13 000, so we thank everyone who has donated money to support our foundation.

The container was packed full of vital Mother and Baby packs (250), essential medical equipment to support safe birthing and care post birth for mother and baby, including a new birthing bed which we bought at a heavily discounted cost from (thank you), linen and medical consumables.

The container is valued at est $100 000. Thank you to everyone who came along to packing days, knitted baby blankets, donated money, donated time, donated medical equipment. This was such an amazing effort.
