Kila now casts her nets wider — thanks to you!
Kila runs a fish business in Papua New Guinea. When The Leprosy Mission Papua New Guinea started visiting her village, the staff helped her further develop her skills. Now she is sharing her knowledge by mentoring people affected by leprosy and disability — thanks to your support!

Three Cheers for Volunteers in PNG!

God is with us – Thank you!
