KTF recognised for Outstanding Achievement by The Australian Charity Awards 2020

KTF is delighted to have been recognised for Outstanding Achievement in The Australian Charity Awards 2020 for our Village Connect project.

The Australian Charity Award for Outstanding Achievement [OAA] recognises charitable organisations that have achieved outstanding results through initiatives that have significantly benefited charitable causes.

“We are humbled to be recognised for a truly life-changing project. Working alongside local communities, KTF illuminated the Kokoda Track catchment area, installing solar lighting and energy systems to over 1000 households in 30 villages. Solar energy brings so much opportunity in remote areas – the chance to study, do household work and business activities after the sun goes down and the ability to charge mobile phones for communication. It also improves safety after dark and reduces reliance on toxic and expensive kerosene. What a difference for every member of the family!

“We thank you for acknowledging the team’s efforts on this amazing project, which was made possible by our generous donors, DFAT’s Kokoda Initiative, Mundango Abroad, the George & Josie Palmer Fund and Back Track Adventures.”

Dr Genevieve Nelson, CEO.

What a wonderful acknowledgement of the team and local communities' efforts to install solar lighting and energy systems to over 1000 households in 30 villages in the Kokoda Track catchment area.

We congratulate the Australian Charity of the Year, Good360 Australia, and all other 2020 Outstanding Achievement Award winners for their tireless efforts supporting their communities.
