Our Mission
PNGINUSA serves as a medium to connect our interests in the United States and abroad where Papua New Guineans strive to
make a difference in our communities and country culturally, socially and economically. PNGINUSA strives to meet this
goal with a heightened emphasis on rural and disadvantaged sectors of Papua New Guinea with the help of mutual
friendships and relationships fostered in the United States and globally.
Beautifully situated over 462,840 sq. km with 6.5 million people, Papua New Guinea
boasts being a unique and diverse nation. With tropical jungles pristine and untouched,
the country is immersed with diverse cultures and languages, making the country truly
the last frontier. Customs such as traditional dancing, art,and festivals offer visitors
an unforgettable glimpse into Papua New Guinea’s past and potential for the future.
As a developing country, Papua New Guinea possesses vast natural resources. However well
endowed Papua New Guinea may be, the country still struggles with socio-economic
problems around health care, education, law and order and infrastructure. Our
organization aims to address on a micro level, some of these issues, such as health care
to provide an opportunity for Papua New Guineans build a better life for themselves.
However, we need your help. We believe that no one person can go it alone. Together,
with your help, we can make a difference in the life of a child, or in the life of a
villager that can truly change Papua New Guinea.
We invite you to take a closer look at our projects.

the United States. Every year since then, we have been gathering in the hopes to
unify and strengthen wantoks (friends)across the United States. It is additionally
the purpose to develop Papua New Guinea in whatever small way we can.
