PNG Foundation believes every PNG child deserves a healthy future.
Now we need your help to make this happen.

WHY PAPUA NEW GUINEA (PNG)?

PNG has a population of 7.6M people and is an incredible mix of diverse cultures, landscapes and languages.
Women and children in this area die from treatable and preventable infectious diseases combined with malnutrition.
Life expectancy in PNG is very low (62y for women compared with 84y in Australia).
Maternal mortality rate is high (500/100,000). Under-five child mortality rate is very high (63/1000 live births).
One in two children in PNG have stunted growth due to chronic malnutrition.
PNG has the fourth highest child stunting rate in the world – a rate that is more than double the global average and higher than some of the most impoverished countries in Africa and Asia.

HEALTH

Provide access to basic primary health care for all Kameas. Assess the nutritional and health status of the community, in particular of women of reproductive age, infants and children. Plan and implement public health programs to improve the nutrition status and an effective vaccination program to prevent communicable diseases.

EDUCATION

Education is the foundation for children reaching their full potential. Our goal is for all Kamea children -boys and girls- to complete their basic education.

INFRASTRUCTURE

Improve and maintain the current hospital and school buildings and provide access to electricity and communication.

DONORS OVER THE WORLD

WHAT OUR DONORS OVER THE WORLD ARE SAYING

I have a lot of first hand experience with the Kamea people in PNG. They miss out on every aspect of healthcare, many aspects of education and practically all established forms of established infrastructure. They have not enough immunisations for their children, often not enough food and no electricity. Any help that can be given to them is welcome. Keep up your good work.

Verifiable data on the nutritional and health status of the Kamea are now available, thanks to the extraordinary efforts of PNG Foundation. SMHS, UPNG, fully appreciate the collaborative work that we have been doing over the past four years and look forward to continuous collaboration with PNG Foundation.
