Celebrating 34 new Helpim Mama graduates! πŸ’œ

These new volunteers attended our recent four-day course in Yamen, having been nominated by their communities as having the passion, skills and commitment to support the next generation of mothers and babies in their village. It was a pleasure to witness their knowledge and confidence rise and to recognise their achievement in a very special graduation ceremony! πŸŽ“

These 34 volunteers will now return to 19 villages and bridge the gap between women in their community and formal health services - providing maternal health education, recognising danger signs early, and helping mothers access the health facilities and skilled care they need for a safe birth.

Somewhere in a remote village in Papua New Guinea, a woman is pregnant.

She deserves to give birth safely - at a health facility, with a skilled attendant by her side. But when the nearest clinic is hours away and she must travel by canoe, getting there isn't simple.

That's where Living Child comes in. Our Helpim Mama project trains community volunteers like Village Birth Attendants to support women through pregnancy - recognising danger signs early, providing health education in the community, and encouraging and helping women to prepare to travel to a health facility when the time comes.

A safe birth doesn't happen by accident. It happens because someone has been equipped, trained and supported to make it possible.

June 30 is the end of the financial year in Australia, which means your donation right now is tax deductible, and goes directly to supporting women like her.

Parachute = joy! 🌈

Our inaugural Keram Kids Club was a huge success, engaging over 80 children from ages 3 - 14. We had a wonderful four days of playing, learning, singing and skill-building together. πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈ

A big thanks to those who attended our End of Year Celebration last year - you made it possible to bring resources like this parachute to kids who will use and love them for years to come!

Help us create more moments like this. Donate before June 30 and your gift is tax deductible in Australia: www.livingchildinc.org.au/donate 🩡

It's National Volunteer Week, and we want to take this opportunity to say 'tenkyu tumas' to all of our amazing volunteers, past and present! You are the heartbeat of Living Child.

PNG has an extensive volunteer health workforce, particularly in rural/remote villages. We also want to say a very special thanks to the thousands of community volunteers who selflessly step up and give their time and effort to help those around them. 🩡

Our amazing team has just returned from the field, with many powerful stories to share from the past few weeks! The villages along the Keram River are among the hardest to access in PNG - but that's exactly why we go.

Did you know it takes four hours by car, and then another four hours by boat for us to reach our base in Yamen from the provincial capital of Wewak? πŸš™πŸ›₯

Yesterday was World Water Day, and a reminder of how vital access to clean water is for a healthy life πŸ’§

Did you know:
🚰 In remote Papua New Guinea, many families still rely on rivers and streams for drinking, cooking, and washing.
🚰 Water and sanitation-related diseases are among the leading causes of death for children under five in PNG (UNICEF, 2018).
🚰 Access to safe water can reduce diarrhoeal diseases by up to 50% (WHO, 2024).

Through our Healthy Families, Strong Communities program, Living Child is working alongside communities to improve access to safe water - supplying 58 tippy taps and 58 water tanks in the Keram LLG, and training community volunteers across six villages as WASH champions.
