Tips for Applicants

This is a very small, hands-on foundation that works directly in remote PNG communities. Their focus is on practical, tangible projects rather than large grant-making. They have strong relationships with local church partners (Bishop Peter Baquero, Sisters de Cluny) and work through established local networks. Application would need to demonstrate direct impact on remote Gulf Province communities and align with their health/nutrition/education focus.

Giving Philosophy

Hands-on, practical support for remote communities in PNG focusing on addressing critical health and education gaps through direct service delivery, capacity building, and advocacy. Works closely with local health facilities, church partners, and community leaders to implement sustainable solutions in areas with no roads, electricity, or reliable communication.
