What We Do: Samaritan Aviation conducts emergency life flights, medicine delivery, disaster relief & community health programs in Papua New Guinea. S.A has the only floatplane in PNG & operates out of Wewak in the East Sepik Province (population est. at 500,000). Why We Do It?: S.A. exists to demonstrate God's love by providing aviation & medical services in remote areas. 80% of the residents within the ESP live in remote areas without access to the only hospital in the province. 200,000 of these residents live along the 700 mile Sepik river. S.A. provides access to critical medical care & health services that in most cases would not be available. How We Do It?: S.A. is a 501 C-3 non-profit organization, funded through private donations. Sharing Christ's love, saving lives, impacting communities & providing access & hope to the poor & forgotten would not be possible without donations & grants. In Papua New Guinea, S.A. partners with a number of organizations in order to effectively & efficiently provides these services. Examples of these organizations include: The Provincial Government, Catholic Health Services, Area Medical distribution store, Pacific Islands Ministries, SDA Medical Outreach, Save the Children Australia, and Oxfam Australia & Heart to Heart International.
