Three generations of our family - myself, my daughter, Alana and Dad, Peter aim to walk 500 km over the month of August in   solidarity with the people of West Papua  to support the work of Papua Partners in West Papua, Indonesia 

Funds raised will go to some amazing projects including the provision of rural education and health for over 8000 people; training young men and women who are on the front lines of stopping violence against women, human rights abuses and building healthy non-violent communities; and invest in green businesses to help build sustainable futures for families and communities.

The Land of West Papua and the Indigenous West Papuan people are increasingly threatened by environmental destruction, militarisation, human rights abuses, a shutdown of free speech as well as rampant corruption leaving West Papuans poor and marginalised in their own land. Women and children suffer the most with very poor access to health and education and high levels of violence against women.

Thank you for your support!
