Story

My Mum Maree and I are going Papua New Guinea to walk the Kokoda Track in 3 weeks time. We are motivated on this adventure as we have enormous respect for the men that fought against the odds on the track for our country and also the local men who supported them.

It is also a personal challenge for us both. We have been training heaps and we are excited but I have to say it is also a little daunting

We will be supported by a large number of local people and we would like to be able to give back to the community for their hospitality and the past compassion shown to our soldiers.

We are completing the trek through Back Track Adventures and would like to join with them in fundraising for the Kokoda Track Foundation. The Kokoda Track Foundation is an Australia organisation running projects across PNG in health, education, livelihoods and leadership. In particular, funds will go towards providing solar lights to the village of Naduri.

We will be staying at this village during our trek.

We would love you to support us in this effort if you can.

    KTF (Kokoda Track Foundation)

    We're an Aussie NGO that works with people and communities to improve lives, livelihoods and futures of Papua New Guineans, keeping the spirit of Kokoda alive. 

    Expanding beyond our original focus region of Kokoda in Oro Province, KTF now works with communities across 16 of PNG’s 22 provinces....and we have big plans for 2021 and beyond.

    We operate programs in the vital areas of education, health, equality and leadership

    Over the past decade, we have delivered a range of projects including the construction of school and aid post infrastructure along and around theKokoda Track, delivery of educational supplies to 20 schools and drugs and medical supplies to 15 aid posts, postings of 15 teachers and over a dozen communityhealth workers, distribution of over 32,000 solar lights across the country, installation of 1,000+ household solar units in the Kokoda catchment, establishment of businesses by Women’s Groups in five provinces and the design and delivery of the Archer Leadership program to find and foster PNG’s future leaders for 10 years.

    600+ students currently have a second chance at education, studying Grades 9 to 12 via Flexible Open Distance Education at Kokoda College, Balimo College and the Motu Koita FODE Centre. We have trained 3,685 elementary teachers via our Teach for Tomorrow project and supported the ongoing professional development for teachers via Teach for Tomorrow II, upskilling 220+ teacher trainers. Teach for Tomorrow, the Early Years is developing and implementing Early Childhood Education frameworks in conjunction with provincial Departments of Education. Our network of coaches in Western Province is also working with a core group of 37 elementary teachers to build their teaching skills.
