Buk bilong Pikinini is proud to acknowledge the unwavering support of The Constantinou Group, which continues to sponsor two of BbP’s Library Learning Centres – at 9 Mile and 6 Mile. This consistent backing has helped lay a strong foundation for hundreds of children to embark on their learning journey.
BbP also extended its deep gratitude to The Sir Theo Foundation, a vital supporter of its 3 Mile Library Learning Centre and were now delighted to welcome the Foundation’s extended support to its Pari Library Learning Centre, making it possible to reach even more children in the village with books, literacy programs, and the joy of learning.

The Pari LLC was made possible through the support from the Motu Koita Association and the NCD with the classroom building provided thanks to the leadership of Hon. Dadi Toka Jnr. This collaboration between community, corporate, and philanthropic partners continues to help BbP expand access to quality early childhood education across Papua New Guinea.
Buk bilong Pikinini sincerely thanks The Constantinou Group, The Sir Theo Foundation and the Motu Koita Association for their continued commitment to its shared vision – empowering the children of Papua New Guinea through literacy and education.
