Papua New Guinea

Caritas’ work in Papua New Guinea focuses on improving livelihoods, advocating for human rights, and protecting customary lands from large-scale palm oil plantations, logging and mining.  We also seek to promote gender rights, access to education, and HIV and AIDS awareness.

New Zealand primary children have also raised money to build new classrooms for Rulna in Papua New Guinea. Read more here.
