During 20222023 the Tenkile Conservation Alliance was working on assisting rainforest communities of Papua New Guinea by the installation of solar lights in each household and solar street lights in the villages. We implemented the solar lighting project in all 43 villages by the end of 2022 and commenced installation and training in an additional 106 villages in early 2023. We had not previously worked with these villages before increasing our benevolent objectives to reaching over 24,000 people. We provided training to village representatives and used our solar survey app to measure baseline information and post project data and impact. The results were very positive. All of the data collected has been uploaded to an online portal and is analysed in real time providing us with graphs and charts of our work and impact on this project. The results of this project has provided evidence that we are alleviating poverty with savings reported by many households and people working on businesses and opportunities they did not have before the lights were installed. People also reported increased safety walking around the village at night and health benefits due to less fire smoke in the household to create light. TCA staff (x198) were also employed to monitor their forests using the Protected Area Monitoring app and training has been provided to help identify key rainforest species of animals that need protection. The wages they receive also provide an impact in terms of poverty alleviation and boosting the local economy. TCA Australia has also provided technical, accounting, advocacy and management assistance to support all of the work conducted in Papua New Guinea. This clearly demonstrates the charities mission and main aims to alleviate poverty in rainforest communities in Papua New Guinea is being achieved.

International Activities

The Tenkile Conservation Alliance in Australia supports the on the ground work happening in Papua New Guinea. We work directly with the rainforest communities a total of 146 villages presently under the Pawarim Komuniti Solar Power Project. 43 of those villages have the critically endangered Tenkile and Weimang Tree kangaroos on their land and have agreed to no longer hunt them. Our main objective is to provide alternative and improved livelihoods to alleviate poverty and protect natural resources of the Torricelli Mountain range. The CEO and COO are based full-time in Australia and employed under the Australian Charity and direct communication and assistance is provided to local people and international volunteers working in Papua New Guinea. Goods are transported to the rainforest communities from Australia from time to time and money is supporting the work in PNG from within Australia and sent to PNG. We also provide administrative, technical assistance to implement grants.
