Where We Work

West Papua is the western half of the island of New Guinea bordering Papua New Guinea. It is part of Indonesia. Just south of the equator, West Papua contains some of the highest mountains, densest jungle, and richest mineral resources
in the world. It is home to over 300 tribes and incredible biodiversity.

Our aims

Our vision is for a peaceful, just and thriving Papuan Society where the social, economic and political environments enable all peoples to assume their full identities and realise their full potential.

Our impact

Our approach of equipping, accompanying and mobilising Papuan organisations, individuals, churches and networks enables deep, widespread and sustainable change. Over the last 10 years the work of our partners has impacted over 100,000 people.
