Delivery Update

Another Delivery Update! We were fortunate to have donated stretchers to 34 Health Centres in East New Britain province. (Images below of a couple of the deliveries). The ENB Health Centres / Areas in Need this year included Palmalmal, Butuwin, Vunapope and many more.

Our posture has always been rooted in gratitude to our growing community’s support, who make it possible for us to help our people at home. A ngala na boina tuna to everyone!

Reusable Pads

Let’s shatter the stigma of menstruation. We support menstrual equity, health, dignity and opportunity for all. We transform periods into pathways.

Thank you to St Joseph and St Anthony Parish, Bracken Ridge craft group for your commitment to sewing much needed reusable pads. Over 500 pads were delivered.

A great feedback from the students and teachers of OLSH Vunapope after introducing the pads two years ago. Biggest plus is never having to buy pads.

Thank you Mrs Kavanamur and the grade 11s for meeting with us after work parade.
