Santos Christmas Giving
As the holidays approach, we’re reminded of the warmth and generosity that make this time of year so special. It’s a season that calls on us to give back, to spread kindness, and to connect with our loved ones. This year, we invite you to make your giving truly impactful. By donating to FemiliPNG Australia, you can help us support critical services for survivors of family and sexual violence in Papua New Guinea – ensuring they have access to the resources, safety, and support they need to rebuild their lives.
About FemiliPNG Australia
Family and sexual violence disproportionately affects women and girls, with up to 68% of women in Papua New Guinea experiencing violence at some stage in their lives. Among these survivors, fewer than 35% seek help.
Survivors often face significant barriers when navigating complex care and justice systems alone. Many require support to access safe accommodation, medical care, legal assistance, and financial or vocational resources, among other essential services.
Established in 2014, Femili PNG was founded to bridge these gaps by helping survivors access support from various service providers. It was the first Papua New Guinean organisation to adopt a case management approach to supporting survivors.
Since welcoming its first client 10 years ago, Femili PNG has assisted over 7,000 survivors in accessing the care they need. Today, it operates case management centres in Lae and Goroka, as well as the Bel isi PNG case management centre and safe house in Port Moresby.
In addition to case management, Femili PNG undertakes extensive outreach to raise awareness about violence and available support. It trains community leaders to assist survivors locally, collaborates with other service providers to enhance impact, and coordinates family and sexual violence services in the regions where it operates. Femili PNG also conducts research-based advocacy to improve government responses to gender-based violence.
Behind the scenes, FemiliPNG Australia provides critical technical expertise and funding to extend Femili PNG’s reach and impact.
As a free support service, Femili PNG relies on the generosity of people like you to sustain these vital programs and keep them accessible to all survivors. One of the most impactful ways to help is by donating. By giving to FemiliPNG Australia, you empower us to provide consistent support for Femili PNG’s essential work.
Bel isi PNG and the Santos Foundation
Bel isi PNG is a groundbreaking initiative that aims to address family and sexual violence in Papua New Guinea by uniting the private, public, and government sectors. At its core are Femili PNG, which operates the Bel isi PNG case management centre and safe house in Port Moresby, and the Santos Foundation, the program’s managing partner.
What makes Bel isi PNG unique is its collaborative approach. Businesses subscribe to the initiative and contribute regular funding, ensuring critical services for survivors—such as safe housing and case management—can continue. In return, businesses receive education and resources to foster workplace environments that support those affected by violence.
Employees of subscribing companies can access support from the Bel isi PNG case management centre and safe house anonymously through their workplace. Survivors who are not employees of subscribing businesses can still access support through Femili PNG in Port Moresby. This inclusive model ensures that help is available to anyone who needs it.
This innovative approach provides multiple pathways for survivors to seek help while empowering businesses to address gender-based violence actively. By working together, Bel isi PNG drives meaningful change, creating safer workplaces and stronger communities across Papua New Guinea.
