Aspiration and Background

In his 41 years of service to the Catholic Church, Simon loved spending most of his time in the old church building (now demolished), making sure things were in order. This is apart from him leading the worship and prayer sessions there. Simon is one of the very few elderly in the community to not only see the initial stages of the project but helped quite a lot in many areas including fundraising drives. His aspiration was to have this project completed quickly so the people have a common place to worship God.


The project is situated in Bitakapuk Village within the Toma/Vunadidir LLG of East New New Britain Province. This project is now under construction after demolishing our old church building at the end of last year but it is in need of additional funding. It is estimated that approximately an additional K100,000.00 will be required to complete the project.

The current situation with the cocoa pod borer disease and decline in copra prices in the province has made it extremely hard for the people to raise money faster. As a result, the village people have been doing all they can with other fundraising activities to contribute resources and money form their pockets to assist and keep the project going.

A word of appreciation to those who have contributed in cash or kind towards the project so far. Thanks to Connie Tarai and the group in Perth, Western Australia; not forgetting the group in Port Moresby for your contributions.

Volcano may affect project

The current situation with Mt. Tavurvur volcanic eruptions at home in Rabaul may be another contributing factor to the holdup in the church building project.

The whole idea of the project here is for the SIBA Foundation to secure additional funding for the church building, and if possible hire a prominent building company to take up the project. This will greatly assist  people to take care of themselves, their children, and their assets during the construction stage.  The foundation shall assist in taking care of the church building project in it's entirety if possible.


Our village people need your help. 
You can contribute!

Join SIBA Foundation now; become a member!
With God's help we shall make this become a reality!!
