Papua New Guinea is one of the most beautiful and unexplored places on the planet.
Its coral coastlines are rich with aquatic life and its misty highlands form a wondrous barrier that until recently cut off much of the population from the outside world and each other.
Papua New Guinea gained independence from Australia in 1975, and as a young democracy is currently undergoing a significant economic and social transformation.
The extreme topography of the Papua New Guinean ranges and the subsequent isolation of its population has developed the most linguistically diverse country on the planet, with over 850 living languages.

to deliver projects to change and touch the lives of people in the Gulf Province of Papua New Guinea, with the provision of health centres and schools a priority.
