Join with us in the vision of building healthy villages in Papua New Guinea (PNG) by giving a tax deductible donation that has the power to change lives!
YWAM Medical Ships Australia & Papua New Guinea’s (YWAM MS) unique model combines donated human resource, corporate cash and in-kind sponsorship, and support from partner government agencies to deliver highly cost-effective outreach programs.
In 2019 alone, the donated labour YWAM MS volunteers contributed had an estimated value of over 5.1 million AUD (11.5 million PGK). This ensures that your donations have maximum impact.
Ways to give
Charity Mobile
Thanks to Network Communications (the largest Optus regional dealer in Australia), supporting YWAM MS has never been easier! Simply sign up to or renew any of Optus’ mobile phone plans at a Network Communications store, and Network Communications will donate 5% of your bill to YWAM MS on your behalf, at no extra cost to you!
If you are looking for a new mobile plan, or your contract is up for renewal, be sure to visit your closest Network Communications store and nominate YWAM MS as your charity. You, plus your mobile phone, can make a difference!
