Our New Wheels
.
.
In 2019, Wantaim PNG bought its own boat. For an organisation working in a maritime province spanning many remote island and coastal communities, that was independence.
No more borrowed boats, hired vessels, or engines we couldn't trust.
Our team could reach the communities that needed us, when they needed us. Safely.
The Longest Last Mile finally had its own vessel.

ChangeBeing Award
.
.
In 2018, our Founder and CEO, Lynne Shori, received the inaugural ChangeBeing Award from the Blackmore Mercie Whellan Women+Wellbeing Awards.
The citation recognised bold acts of leadership, advocacy and education to help girls and women realise their ambitions and potential.
That's not just an award citation.
It's a job description Wantaim PNG's team has been living. Since 2007.

Skills. Not Charity
.
.
In 2017, women across 3 communities in Manus Province came together to solve a problem themselves: access to feminine hygiene products. Hamamas Meri was born.
It means "Happy Women" in Tok Pisin. Because when women and girls have what they need, the playing field levels.
Girls stay in school instead of missing a week every month.
Women stay all day at the market instead of going home early — and earn more because of it.
No one skips the wedding, the church service, the community gathering.
Not handouts. Skills — making kits, earning income, building independence, together.
Nine years on, Hamamas Meri is still running.
54 women sewing kits.
170 trained in sewing machine maintenance.
2,352 attending feminine hygiene awareness training.
Still locally led. Still levelling the playing field.
