ISTOI (Innovative Solutions to Overcome Inequality) is a nonprofit founded by Nawi to bridge societal divides in Papua New Guinea. Its flagship project, the Bula Village Hub, aims to bring electricity, internet, and learning resources to a remote coastal community of over 700 people.

The Hub will serve as a Community Learning & Empowerment Center, providing solar power, internet connectivity, laptops, books, and practical skills training such as sewing machines for women’s entrepreneurship.

Impact:

• Women gain independence through small businesses and digital opportunities.
• Children can study after sunset and access online learning.
• Youth connect with new opportunities, strengthening the community’s resilience.

Progress: Solar panels are already installed. Next steps include internet setup, furnishing the space, and delivering equipment. So far, $2,010 has been raised—5% of the $43,170 goal.

Vision: The Hub will enable children to learn, women to thrive, and the community to step into the modern world while preserving its cultural identity.
