PNG. Since then SMALL PNG has sought to increase awareness of safe motherhood practices, build alliances amongst organisations and advocate for change. It is our mission to promote and facilitate a national and grassroots movement for safe motherhood that inspires action to save women’s and newborns lives. We work to see a PNG where the right of all women to be safe and healthy before, during and after childbirth is upheld, and a PNG where men and the community are actively supportive of women’s rights to be safe and healthy. Our goal is for safer child bearing in PNG
