Back Track Adventures

Back Track Adventures is partnering with KTF to raise funds to Light Up Naduri Village! Naduri Village is located halfway along the Kokoda Track in the Central Province of Papua New Guinea. KTF is an international development NGO that has been working in PNG since 2003. Back Track Adventures is a leading trekking company that has been taking expeditions along the Kokoda Track since 1985. 

Together, we need to raise $17,000 (AUD) which will be used to install a household solar lighting and power system onto every residential house in Naduri village, providing villagers with a reliable source of lighting for the first time ever. There are 43 households in Naduri village and each house will be provided with four powerful solar lights and a charging station that can be used to charge mobile phones and other small appliances. 

Solar lighting and energy makes an enormous difference to communities in remote and rural PNG. Children can do their homework after dark, parents can work on small businesses, reliance on toxic and dangerous kerosene and campfires is reduced, and women and girls are safer at night time in their villages. 

Donations made through this platform are secure and will be remitted directly through to the Kokoda Track Foundation Limited who are managing and delivering the project in partnership with Back Track Adventures. 

Back Track Adventures are starting the fundraising with a $1,300 donation. Donations above $2 are tax deductible in Australia.

Thanks so much for your support!
