Category: NETWORK KOKODA

Network Kokoda was established by Adventure Kokoda. Our objective, as the major philanthropic organisation on the trail today, is to earn the respect of local landowners who are the custodians of land sacred to our shared wartime heritage. We exist to honour the legacy of our Kokoda veterans the PNG wartime carriers.

Network Kokoda – a Not-for-Profit charity established to honour our wartime heritage in Papua New Guinea – held its inaugural Anzac ‘For Valour’ luncheon in Parliament House Sydney on 5 April 2019. Keynote speaker was former Major-General, Senator Jim Molan AO DSC. The following presentation by founding Chairman and current Director of Network Kokoda, The Hon Charlie Lynn OAM OL (PNG), outlines the reasons for the establishment of the organization’.

Network Kokoda is proud to announce 20 scholarships for students from Western Sydney University (WSU) to allow them to participate in a 12 day study program at the Iaowari High School on the Sogeri Plateau in Papua New Guinea.

Network Kokoda has established a Memo of Understanding with PNGs MiBank to provide financial literacy training for the local community at our Sogeri Women’s Learning Centre.

MiBank is a grassroots financial institution licensed by the Bank of Papua New Guinea (BPNG) to provide a savings opportunity for subsistence villagers and small business people in the informal economy.
