Oro Community Development Project is a not-for-profit, Australian based group which seeks to support children in Oro Province, Papua New Guinea.

Generous and compassionate individuals, groups and Australian schools fund this project.

The specific focus is on children in the areas of education, healthcare and agriculture. This is a co-operative venture between local villages, government agencies and the Oro Community Development Project.

Teams made up of teachers, doctors, builders and agronomists travel to Oro Province throughout the year to contribute to specific projects. The work is carefully sequenced and designed to have a real impact on the lives of the children, their communities and team members.

The teams work with a specific primary school. Our activities, in partnership with the community, aim to help strengthen the overall fabric of the school and ultimately provide more opportunities for the children.

This is an ambitious but achievable plan. At times the work can be frustrating and there is never a shortage of significant challenges to be overcome.

The enthusiasm of the local communities linked with young, energetic and highly skilled teams from Australian states are crucial in achieving the aims of the project.
