Paddling towards Hope: EDEN Mass Training Inspires Change in Wowobo Village-Kikori District
The audience sat quietly as six mothers climbed into a makeshift canoe. With urgency on their faces, they began paddling through an imaginary waterway while a heavily pregnant woman sat in the middle, crying out in pain as labour progresses unabated.
The paddling action by the mother was vigorous as they tried harder to reach medical help before it was too late. A plight of all mothers’ struggles in a remote setting like this dramatized scenario.
Presented only as a drama to officially open the EDEN Community Mass Training, the scene reflected a harsh reality faced by the people of Wowobo Village in Ward 19 of Kikori District, Gulf Province.
For decades, mothers, children, and sick patients from this remote community have travelled long distances by canoe through swampy waterways and river channels to access some form of basic health services.

“A police vehicle pulls quietly into a clinic compound. A young mother steps out, her face bruised and swollen, clutching her baby while a small child clings to her torn blouse. She had waited until her husband fell asleep before escaping into the night”. (Source: UNFPA Papua New Guinea, survivor testimony, 2020)
In Enga Province, a woman accused of sorcery was tortured and killed in front of her children. The children, left orphaned and stigmatized, were abandoned by relatives who feared being associated with her. (Source: PNG National Research Institute SARV Report, 2021).
This is not just a story. For many women in Papua New Guinea, it is reality.
Gender-Based Violence (GBV) refers to violence directed at individuals based on gender, disproportionately affecting women and girls. It includes physical, sexual, emotional, and psychological abuse, often within families and communities.
Sorcery Accusation-Related Violence (SARV) occurs when individuals are accused of practicing sorcery, often without evidence. These accusations lead to torture, persecution, and killings, fueled by fear, cultural beliefs, and misinformation.

Our Core Values
- Prayer: Strategic prayer is an essential prerequisite for success in any program
- Christian Unity: Promotion of unity and cooperation between all denominations of Christian churches.
- Dignity: All people have intrinsic value as equally made in the image of God, and therefore deserve opportunity to know Him and to develop with dignity.
- Integration: We emphasize Christian Biblical integral development, integrating the physical, social, spiritual and mental components of the person
- Sustainable Development: Long-term solutions focus on development rather than relief, disease prevention rather than cure, equipping and empowering people to change themselves rather than doing it for them.
- Community Ownership: Programs are owned by the people and built on local initiative, as demonstrated by volunteerism and wise use of local resources.
- Multiplication: Training people to train others using concepts and appropriate technologies that are transferable.
