Empowering women and girls through skill training

Missionary Sisters of the Immaculate has 32 sisters working in different parts of PNG in the areas of health, education and skills training.

The training includes sewing, hygiene, nutrition, spiritual and human formation which takes place in two different communities in Wapipi and Liluta.

Kiriwina Island has a high school and six primary schools but unfortunately a very high number of young people drop out of school or without any formal education.

Sr. Bridgit Suvakeen says many women never went to school, while others abandoned the school after one or two years.
