MDF's community development initiatives are aimed at improving the quality of living of the rural communities in Papua New Guinea. To do this, one of its projects is to support the District Administration in Morobe Province to grow and ferment cocoa as a way to help the rural poor community sustaining their living apart from gardening and fishing. As part of the project, establishing a Cocoa Fermentary building is required to be used by the community, thus MDF intends to seek donor support to fully accomplish and implement the project.
To that end, MDF is seeking the support of three online volunteers to help in the designing of a Cocoa Fermentary building in a remote village in Huon Gulf Morobe Province. This design is essential to support MDF in securing Donor support for implementing this project for the sustainable living of the community in Kobo Village outside of Lae City. The design, developed by the volunteers, will be included in a proposal for submission to donors.
