MMJV helps rural people

HAVING access to basic health and education services still remains a major need for many Papua New Guineans living in rural areas.
The provision of these services by government is not always possible, especially to more remote communities.
The Morobe Mining Joint Venture, operator of the Hidden Valley mine and developer of the Wafi-Golpu project in Bulolo, Morobe, is working in partnership with government and local villages to ensure people in the rural areas where it operates have access to education, health and other important infrastructure.
MMJV has commenced construction of three aid posts and other community infrastructure projects such as classrooms, community halls, roads and bridge repairs for the three principal landowner villages of its Hidden Valley mine.
These villages are Kwembu, Nauti and Winima.
Aid posts construction has commenced at Kwembu, Winima and Nauti. A community hall is currently being built at Kwembu and an elementary classroom at Winima. 
Repairs to the Nauti Bridge have also commenced.
These projects are being implemented in partnership with the villagers, who are providing the manpower, and the provincial government health and education divisions, who will be providing the staff and on-going supplies for the aid posts and the elementary school.
By working together, the parties contribute to the construction and ongoing service delivery.
