This is not a program. Itโs a reclamation.
In the humid heat of a Port Moresby (NCD) settlement, a group of girls lift weights in a shipping container. They laugh between reps. They check on each otherโs form. They speak truth in their own language.
This isnโt a gym. Itโs a singsing (ceremony).
Itโs where strength is cultural.
Where healing happens in community.
Where tok stori (story-sharing) becomes strategy.
Grass Skirt Project (GSP) is a Pasifika-led movement transforming sport, gender, and health across Papua New Guinea. We donโt come with toolkits we build from the tools our ancestors left us.
We donโt empower- we honour the power thatโs already there.
Our Flagship Programs
Gymbox
Shipping containers turned into mobile wellness spaces, rooted in ceremony, peer strength, and trauma-informed movement.
10 Million Strong
A gender equality and youth leadership program built on relational power, kastom, and co-governance by girls, boys, elders, church and modern business.
Hevea Cup & Wellness Expo
A Pacific-grown sports & health celebration, where singsing, rugby, and wellbeing services are offered as gutpela sindaun (community balance).
What We Believe
Sport is not performance. Itโs tumbuna pasin (ancestral practice).
Girls are not โat-riskโ- theyโre already leaders.
Health is not a service- itโs a right, a ritual, and a responsibility.
Communities donโt need saving- they need space to lead.
Our Promise:
We are not your traditional NGO.
Weโre not here to fit into donor frameworks.
Weโre here to flip them.
To build systems from the ground up, on land, with lineage.
Join us- not to lead, but to walk beside.
