Light Up Papua New Guinea Project

Almost 90% people in PNG have no access to electricity and they spend more than 100 Million dollars annually on kerosene and batteries . There are about 1900 medical aid-posts spread over the rugged terrain and Islands that make PNG .These life-saving stations are also in dire need of suitable lighting. Now, a Canadian couple has decided to come to the rescue and will help light up all 1820 medical stations within the next 3 years. Dr. Tim and Sally Goddard have started this initiative in memory of their daughter Captain Nichola Goddard, the first Canadian female soldier to die in combat in Afghanistan. Nichola was born in Madang (PNG) where her parents were working as teachers. This work is being undertaken with the support of Light Up the World Foundation and will begin in July.
