BCL PROVIDES EMERGENCY RELIEF

With a solemn sense of duty, BCL’s local engagement team was an early responder to last week’s fatal mudslide at Asiko village in Kongara, Central Bougainville, during severe weather associated with Cyclone Maila.

Working closely with locals, the team delivered essential food and first aid supplies and provided transport assistance in what were extremely difficult conditions.

Support was coordinated on the ground near Kakusida Health Centre, with close liaison with community representatives and health services to ensure assistance reached those most affected. Kongara 1 community government Acting Chairlady Linda Maniot expressed her gratitude for the assistance provided during a time of real community need.

BCL is also assisting other communities across the Panguna project area impacted by the inclement weather events.
