Project Yumi is an Australian registered charity that builds effective partnerships with local communities in Papua New Guinea, to enhance the quality of education and health care. We achieve this through deferring quality used school furniture and health equipment from landfill and send it to rural areas of PNG.

The Pass it On Project aims to stop no longer needed stationery going to landfill, and instead give them a second life, by distributing them to children throughout PNG.

We are currently seeking a Project Coordinator to join our management committee ($50 annual membership fee) who will be responsible for managing and overseeing multiple stages of our Pass it on Project initiative.
