Kelabo and Arou towns are in the Southern Highlands of Papua New Guinea. They are rural communities that are struggling with the huge increases in food prices, especially of rice. The churches in these towns have realised they can do something to assist their communities so they sent selected people to attend a training programme to learn how to grow rice. They then returned to their communities and have grown rice as a model. A mill will be put into each village to encourage the development.

Largely on account of its isolation, Hauna village and the Wokoma area of the Sepik Valley have suffered from benign neglect. Consequently the 3,000 people (approximately) who live in Hauna and the surrounding villages are facing big financial difficulties now.
