Grass Skirt Project Ltd
Grass Skirt Project Ltd is an Australian nonprofit organization working to address gender-based violence and inequality in Papua New Guinea (PNG) through sport-based social development initiatives. Registered with the Australian Charities and Not-for-profits Commission (ACNC), the organization operates programs focused on youth leadership, community empowerment, and gender justice.
History and Mission
The organization was founded with the vision of empowering individuals, particularly women and girls, through skill development and leadership training. Its mission emphasizes using sport as a unifying platform to foster social change, aiming to cultivate a generation of leaders committed to equity and inclusion. By 2050, the project seeks to empower 1 million leaders in PNG, guided by values of courage, trust, integrity, innovation, and tenacity.
Key Programs
- 10 Million Strong Leadership Program: A sport-based initiative designed to engage youth in discussions about gender equality and active citizenship. Through interactive activities, participants develop leadership skills and learn to challenge societal norms contributing to gender-based violence.
- Gymbox: A mobile gym program that combines physical fitness with education on health, gender rights, and violence prevention.
- Hevea Cup & Wellness Expo: Community events promoting health education and gender equality through sports competitions and workshops.
Impact
In 2023, the organization supported 14 young people through a 12-week leadership program focused on gender-based violence prevention. The "10 Million Strong" initiative represents a pioneering effort in PNG, tailored to local cultural contexts while encouraging participants to advocate for safer, more equitable communities. Grass Skirt Project Ltd emphasizes collaboration with men and boys as allies to shift attitudes and reduce systemic violence.
Governance
As an ACNC-registered charity, the organization adheres to transparency and accountability standards. Its programs prioritize grassroots engagement to ensure initiatives align with community needs and cultural practices.
