No-one told Gorethy she couldn't drive.

This is Gorethy. Mother. Nurturer. Sewing instructor.

And now — in a place where the ocean is the highway — the woman at the helm, navigating island waterways and bringing the Hamamas Meri programme to communities who need it most.

Manus women know their place. And increasingly, that place is everywhere.

Getting reusable hygiene kits to remote island schools doesn't happen by itself. It takes women like Gorethy — rooted in their community, stepping up without being asked, doing what needs to be done.

No fanfare. No ribbon cutting. Just a woman with a mission steering the boat.

There's 2 days left to make a tax-deductible donation before 30 June. If you can, help back the women who are stepping up. 👉https://www.wantaimpng.org/donate/

Rachel has the floor…and she's using for girls.
.
.

Meet Rachel, the most senior woman in her local government area.

Rachel knows her community. She honours its traditions. And she's stepped up — loud hailer in hand — to make sure every woman and girl in her community is heard.

Women like her are why #HamamasMeri works. Because when local leaders step up, communities listen.

And when communities listen and women come together, girls stay in school.

That's not theory. This is happening in Manus Province now. Three days left to make a tax-deductible donation before 30 June.

Back the women who are backing the girls. 👉 www.wantaimpng.org/donate/
