To continue MDF's mission, MDF requires support in grant searches where the grants will allow to expand its partnership and community outreach activities (e.g., education programs, community run nature-based solutions); and extensively to reach out to more potential donors based in the UK.

This collaboration intends to showcase MDF's ongoing works and outcome through content designs in the form of poster or infographic that will be used as content for MDF's social media account, website or blog.

Furthermore, the exposure as a result of this assignment will also support MDF to attract donor and acquire grant to continue the implementation of projects in areas of water, sanitation and hygiene (where MDF has undertaken several projects in the past couple of years) and the takeaways from these globally focused endeavors would be streamlined to serve the needs of PNG communities. Further, this assignment is also in line with MDF vision and objective to support campaign on environment and conservation and to address climate change which is a bigger issues faced by the world.
