About Links of Hope:
Recognising a need and lack of formal support systems, Links of Hope (LOH) was founded in 2011 with an initial objective of supporting Papua New Guinean women released from prison in the creation of small business enterprises. LOH also assisted a number of widows from local communities and settlements and began supporting those impacted by the HIV and AIDS epidemic through linkages to care. A major focus of Links of Hope now is the operation of a Child Sponsorship program, supporting children impacted by the HIV epidemic. Children on the program are supported with monthly nutritional care packages, educational programs, school fees, and uniforms. Links of Hope is a legal entity registered as an incorporated body under the Associations Incorporation Act of Papua New Guinea and Australia.
As of 2019, there are 300 children enrolled in LOH programming, all of whom are living in some way impacted by the HIV epidemic. Our remit and passion are to pastorally care for them and see them thrive in their communities by supporting them with education, basic health care, training in trade skills and small business enterprise for their caregivers, offering caregivers small business loans, and running community education initiatives.
