From Forgotten to Flourishing - The Transformation of Sayang village
Sayang village in Markham District, Morobe, had long been overlooked for development until the 2024 Water for Women (WfW) Markham WasH project, supported by World Vision PNG, intervened. Local women, Nufan and her sister-in-law Yakusa, led efforts to beautify homes and build toilets under the provincial Healthy Island Concept (HIC). Despite challenges like no bridge to the Leron River and distant water sources, they sought World Vision's help. As a result, a 9,000-liter water tank and a gravity-fed system were provided, marking a breakthrough for the village where women-led, and men supported—a rare local practice. This highlights how NGO-government collaboration can drive community resilience and well-being.
