Grass Skirt Project (GSP) is a pioneering social impact organization dedicated to addressing and combating gender-based violence in Papua New Guinea (PNG). Our organization utilizes the transformative power of sport to empower individuals, challenge societal norms, and build resilient communities. We are committed to creating a future where everyone can live free from the fear of violence and discrimination.

Our multifaceted approach integrates gender-inclusive sports programs with groundbreaking research initiatives, fostering a holistic and sustainable impact.

The Hevea Cup & Wellness Expo: The Hevea Cup & Wellness Expo promotes sports participation and educates communities about major health issues. By using sports as a platform, we empower individuals and improve social outcomes while addressing key health concerns.

Gymbox: Gymbox focuses on physical and mental well-being, providing a safe space for individuals to engage in fitness activities, develop leadership skills, and create positive change within themselves and their communities.

10 Million Strong Leadership Program: The 10 Million Strong Leadership Program is designed to nurture essential life skills, including open communication, problem-solving, decision-making, emotional intelligence, and accountability. By empowering youth and fostering their development, we aim to create a new generation of leaders committed to driving social change.
