-
Conduct vanilla training workshop to skill people on the technical aspects of vanilla cultivation and processing, maintaining quality assurance, and build a network of farmers.

A cocoa fermentry will be constructed for the community to use; a cocoa value and supply chain framework for rural market access will also be created.
A part of this project, Bread for the World is also providing fund for TKP to rent an office space at the National Research Institute.
Project Title: Registration and establishment of Kainake Football Association
Project Location: Kainake Village, Siwai District, South Bougainville, Autonomous Region of Bougainville
Partners: Kainake Village Assembly, Soccer Teams from Siwai District (Self Funded)
Status: In progress (January 2020 to now)
The purpose of this project is to formally register the Kainake Football Association with the PNG Investment Promotion Authority so that organisational governance is improved. The Kainake Village Assembly has been organising an annual football competition for youth throughout the Siwai District for a number of years. However, the competition has not been registered as a legal entity and therefore could not have its own bank account account, financial management system, and a corporate management system.
Through this project, TKP will assist the youth and community in the Siwai District
