The Basketball Federation of Papua New Guinea’s Hoops for Health – Mums A Hero program is continuing its work in Madang Province and the Eastern Highlands Province (EHP) to educate mothers about child protection and safeguarding. The program was delivered to communities in the Wara Wagol, 26 community, Ward 8, of Madang District and also in the Walium Usino-Bundi Gama District and in the Ukarumpa-Aiyura SIL Kainantu, EHP. The key messages given were about child protection and safeguarding, and mothers to value and play an important role in their child's development. Lucy Abel, a Walium participant said, “Through this program, I learned that children have rights and how I must fulfill my role as a mother.” “I also realized that as mothers, we are our children's first coach at home and what we as mother’s invest in them, will be the result of what they become in the future”. The main aim of the awareness was to protect and promote the rights and well-being of all children, regardless of gender, and to protect children from all forms of violence, abuse, neglect, exploitation, and discrimination. The Hoops for Health Program (H4H) program came about through the FIBA support and funding from Team Up, under the Australian Governments sports for development program.
