The Hands Of Rescue Foundation (THOR) is a non profit organisation registered in Papua New Guinea in 2011 and is based in Alotau MBP.

In particular, their mission is to reduce Maternal Mortality throughout MBP and the rest of PNG.
Mother and baby gifts, even waiting houses and market money don’t save lives. Skilled staff do. If we were to encourage women to have a supervised delivery then we needed staff who could handle obstetric emergencies. We train ALL health staff from CHW to NO and mid-wife because all health staff deliver. We train twice a year in the labor room using the latest models and make it as real as we can. One on one training in drug administration.
