Tips for Applicants

Given KTF's exclusive focus on Papua New Guinea and long-term community partnerships, prospective applicants should demonstrate genuine connections to PNG communities, a commitment to sustainable and systemic change, and alignment with their four program pillars: Education, Health, Equality, and Leadership. The foundation values collaborative approaches and proven track records in remote community development.

Giving Philosophy

KTF approaches its work through long-term partnership with PNG communities, focusing on systemic change rather than short-term relief. The foundation values community-led development, second-chance education opportunities, and nurturing future leaders through its Archer Leadership Program. It works across remote and rural areas addressing fundamental challenges in education, health, and gender equality.
