Everyday People PNG : Martha Rumbage

I fled Sugu Valley in 2019 during the bloody tribal conflict.

Yako Village, which I am from, was destroyed and my whole family and clan fled to neighbouring areas in Southern Highlands out of fear.

We carried our children and walked long distances to seek haven with extended family members.

Since the cease fire in 2020, I have returned and we are slowly rebuilding our lives.

I am happy to be back in my village.
