Who we are
Serving Papua New Guinea since 1994
HOPE worldwide PNG began in 1994 with a mobile caravan clinic at 9-Mile in Port Moresby. Today we run clinics and aid posts in Port Moresby and Simbu Province, alongside TB and HIV care, education and volunteer programs. We are faith-based, and we serve everyone, whatever their religion, race, gender or income.
Our work
Care where it's needed most
Health Services
Five clinics and aid posts bringing compassionate, quality primary health care to communities across Port Moresby and the highlands of Simbu Province.
HIV Programs
Walking alongside those affected by HIV through community outreach, prevention, case management, and the empowering Mother Mentor program.
Clean Water Project
Delivering safe drinking water and improved sanitation to communities across PNG; reducing disease and giving families a foundation to thrive.
Why it matters
Distance shouldn't decide who gets care
About 80% of Papua New Guineans live in rural areas, often far from a hospital.

Only 37% of people have basic drinking water, and just 19% have basic sanitation.

In parts of Simbu Province, people walk 5 to 6 hours to reach a health centre.
