Jendy’s Journey: Chasing Big Dreams through Kokoda FODE

More than 200 second-chance secondary students at Kokoda College can now access reliable, renewable energy with the launch of a solar mini-grid for the campus. This pioneer solar infrastructure project for Oro Province is possible through a partnership between KTF and the Australian Government, launched last year through the Australian Infrastructure Financing Facility for the Pacific (AIFFP) Off-Grid Renewable Energy Partnerships.

Last week, Kokoda College celebrated its largest-ever graduating cohort with 185 students graduating; including 72 students reaching the Grade 12 level. There were history-making scenes at the Mt Koiari FODE Centre in Manari, who celebrated the graduation of 38 students, marking the first Grade 12 graduation on the Kokoda Track.
