Kokoda Community Projects

General

I made a statement to David Soro from Kokoda that I would provide 500 Kina for every person that I take to Kokoda towards projects. David is on the committee of the Kokoda Track Authority (KTA) and also the Kokoda Track Association. While the big villages have running water the smaller villages and campsites do not.

After investigation into methods of lifting water out of the creeks, a Glockeman pump was purchased and taken to New Guinea. This pump now has a traveled history as it has been taken to 2 sites and is still not in use. The quantity of water available to run the pump was insufficient at Ioribaiwa and although the pump was working at Iora Creek the flow was only a dribble. The pump may now be used to supply water to the Kokoda hospital.
