Papua New Guinea is home to one of the world’s most ethnically diverse populations.

The country has a collection of hundreds of islands, with more than 800 languages and over 7 million people. The distance from Papua New Guinea to Australia is 2,369.96 km. At its nearest point PNG lies only 5km by Islands from the Australian Territory.

There is rural poverty in remote PNG where people solely depend on subsistence farming, fishing, hunting and other traditional practices to survive.
