Mendi Kandep Highway

This highway is being constructed in the Warakamb Valley. The benefits are numerous but it also brings social challenges. A major awareness campaign is needed to inform the people of the benefits and how they can use the highway for self help projects, market their produce and other cash earning incentives. Also a good time to teach people about hygiene, living healthy lives, going to church, law and order and others such as the importance of education.

Social and health problems such as prostitution, drugs, STD, HIV/AIDs and others diseases need to discussed and people made aware of.

An early observation was that people were becoming lazy and living for the moment, rather than thinking about the future and investing time and resources.

Bridge needed in Warakamb

It will link old waring factions and also reduce the number of people who drown each year while trying to cross the bridge. Once completed, it should be called the unity or Peace bridge to bring peace and prosperity in the valley.
