In line with Sustainable Development Goal 6 and International Finance Corporation Performance Standards 4, the Project strives to ensure communities within its Area of Influence, have access to safe, clean drinking water, lessening the risks of dysentery, malaria and other waterborne diseases.
It is in this context that Papua LNG have provided three 3,500 litres water tanks to Kaevaria Village, in Kikori District, Gulf Province. In addition, the village has been equipped with a community radio system, powered by solar panels, and fitted with in-built USB ports for charging devices.
The inauguration took place on February 8, 2024. In appreciation, the villagers in Kaevaria staged a play showcasing the importance of water in their village and Chief Makani Aisi thanked Papua LNG staff present for the donation.
Ongoing consultations between the Project’s Community Development, Community Relations team and the Village Liaison Officers (VLOs) teams, have highlighted the need to increase and improve lines of communication between the Project and the community and the radio shall facilitate this.
Village Liaison Officer for Kaevaria village Willie Keke, said that the radio, complementing the recent installation of the 4G mobile network, is a much needed and welcome contribution to the village.
“There will be a lot of times that we will be communicating with the Project officers on site, and so the radios will make it easier for us to communicate the community activities and needs” he said.
Kaevaria village is the first of eight villages along the Barging route areas, to receive the water tanks and radio system. Deployment in other villages is currently ongoing.
