Ok Tedi Mining Limited (Ok Tedi) has reinforced its commitment to addressing domestic and family violence in Papua New Guinea by supporting Femili PNG, a leading NGO providing essential support services to survivors across the country.
As part of this partnership, Ok Tedi purchased FemiliPNG Australia’s coffee, which is sourced from the Western Highlands of PNG, and distributed them as complimentary gifts to delegates at the recent PNG Investment Week conference, hosted by the PNG Chamber of Resources and Energy in Sydney, Australia.
The initiative not only showcased high quality PNG coffee but also amplified awareness of the critical work Femili PNG undertakes in supporting survivors of violence.
Proceeds from the coffee support Femili PNG’s case management services, safe accommodation support, outreach programs, and advocacy efforts nationwide.
“Domestic violence continues to affect far too many families in Papua New Guinea, and we all have a responsibility to be part of the solution,’’ said Ms Ruth Waram, Manager Media and Public Relations for Ok Tedi.
“By supporting Femili PNG through this initiative, Ok Tedi is helping to shine a light on the vital services that Femili PNG provide to survivors. Our purchase of these coffee packs is more than a gesture — it is a statement of solidarity and a commitment to promoting safer, stronger communities across PNG.”
“We are grateful for Ok Tedi’s support in showcasing our award-winning Femili PNG coffee via this initiative. The support we receive contributes to Femili PNG’s work to end family and sexual violence in PNG.’’ said Jocelyn Condon, Executive Director, FemiliPNG Australia.
“Every purchase of coffee directly supports the services Femili PNG provide to survivors who need safety, care, and a pathway to rebuild their lives. Ok Tedi’s support in this initiative, and hopefully into the future, give us all great hope for the potential of business to step forward and resource the movement for positive change for survivors of family and sexual violence in Papua New Guinea.”
