Our current programs:

1. Health and Education in Papua New Guinea. Partner: HOPE worldwide PNG.

• Providing essential primary health care through 5 clinics managed by HOPE worldwide PNG. These clinics treat over 65,000 people annually and require ongoing operating costs to be funded. The most remote clinic is a health post in Kalvary, Simbu provice, Central Highlands. This small clinic allows remote communities living in mountainous areas to access essential primary health care. The clinic was built in December 2022 as part of a HOPE Volunteer. Due to its remote location, it requires adjacent staff accommodation to be built. This is planned for later in 2023 and will house the clinic staff.
• Support for the Mercy Care primary school which caters for over 200 students. Support will cover teacher salary, training, stationery and developing a nurturing care framework to foster better health and wellbeing of the students who are from a low socio-economic background.

HOPE worldwide (Australia) enjoys a close relationship with the Australian congregations of the Church of Christ from whom its volunteers have traditionally been drawn. Each congregation has a 'HOPE Rep' that voluntarily coordinates service programs in their area. Congregations of the Church of Christ have also generously supported various programs over many years, especially in Papua New Guinea where there are significant ongoing needs and developed programs delivering primary healthcare and education.
