The Melanesia Education Development Foundation Inc was established in 2000 in Papua New Guinea. The organisation promotes educational development opportunities for less fortunate children, students and people of Papua New Guinea and greater Melanesia in order to help them realize their full potential. The Foundation runs three programmes for which they need additional resources: a sponsorship programme for needy children and students; an educational materials and infrastructure development programme to provide resources and classrooms; and a peacebuilding programme that provides training for individuals to work as peace mediators. More than 1000 of these mediators have already been trained, helping to combat social eevils including domestic violence, drug abuse and tribal conflict. The organisation has also started a micro-credit programme for parents of school children, helping them to earn enough money to fund school fees for their children.
