Every Child Needs A Home

Asharan Orphanage Report - December 2010

Asharan Orphanage had been a refuge of hope for hundreds of lost and abandoned children that came under its shelter since 1998. These are innocent children who otherwise would have become victims of cruelty and abuse. Many of them would not be alive today. Most would never have made it to their adoptive families or back to their own families. Asharan has saved many lives.

Papua New Guinea: Primary Health Update

The health status of Papua New Guineans is the lowest in the Pacific region. Progress over the last three decades has been slow for a number of reasons: the large number of people in remote areas as well as natural disasters, governance issues, poor trade conditions, increasing food prices, high unemployment, and low awareness of risk-related behavior.

Indonesia Flooding Update: Village Assisted by Team

The flood impacted 15,510 houses, two thirds of which are under 3 meters of water (reported by Kompas Daily). Our disaster relief team delivered 200 packs of clothes for the Teluk Buyung village, Pakis Jaya sub-district, Karawang District, West Jaya. Smiles were on their faces because for days the village was isolated by water without hope for assistance. The area is 1.5 hours from the district center on broken down roads. While some assistance has arrived to the District capital, these areas are still low on the priorities.
