Since 2022 Youth Off The Streets Overseas Relief Fund (YOTSORF) in conjunction with its partners Bembe and Elliven have been working on projects in rural areas of PNG. This collaboration involves continuing financial support from Bembe and on-ground logistics and coordination from Elliven to ensure projects are successfully implemented. From humble beginnings this joint cooperation  has expanded to include:

​

1. Supplying small solar systems. installation of small solar electricity systems to give a reliable power supply to remote community schools and health centres / aid posts. In Papua New Guinea most small villages do not have a town electricity supply and traditionally rely on expensive diesel generators for their energy needs.

​

2. Training young nurses and teachers.  scholarships being provided to students from Nursing and  Teaching Colleges. The criteria for selection for a scholarship are that the students come from a rural background, show solid academic ability, are of good character and are in need of financial support to  complete their studies.

​

3. Improve Literacy and Numeracy. In collaboration with Save The Children Foundation we are able to provide appropriate reading materials to Elementary and Primary School students. These books and tablet sets have been developed by Library For All and contain material that has been written by PNG authors with PNG themes.
