Agusta’s story is one of strength and triumph but is also representative of a national struggle for gender equality in the beautiful and developing land of Papua New Guinea.

Unfortunately, the years of neglect and advanced tuberculosis were too much for our young friend Wanapis and our efforts came too late. Wanpis “All Alone” passed away on July 14, 2014 in the hospital and we at the foundation are all profoundly saddened by this loss.
We are determined that he will have a proper funeral and that his young life will count for something. When we are done, Papua New Guinea will know his name and a spotlight will be directed towards the children who are still with us and who desperately need someone to care and give them a chance.
