Youths at Crake Place, Waigani were one of the fortunate groups to receive a donation of cleaning supplies valued at K1,546.09 from Market Force – an initiative dedicated to fostering sustainable growth by supporting small and medium enterprises (SMEs), youth groups, sports organizations, church initiatives, and educational programs.

Josephine Kamdel, Women’s Representative for Crake Place Women’s Retailers, approached Market Force seeking assistance with cleaning materials for her community.

Kamel discovered Market Force while operating as a vendor at the POM City Markets, during the New Chinatown market and later applied after hearing an announcement inviting applicants for community support projects.

Having lived in Crake Place for many years, she has consistently contributed to community development through her small business initiatives and continuous efforts to support and uplift others.

“Our community is where we individually live. It is made up of lives that interact daily growing, learning, and supporting each other through life’s challenges.”

Her work has helped bring about positive community change, especially for youths and mothers who now enjoy cleaner, more orderly surroundings.

Market Force continuously sticks to its commitment to its mission of being “A Force of Good in Every Neighborhood.”

Market Force operates as the charitable arm of Pom City Markets and Pascoe Events and Marketing, founded by Miss Sylvia Pascoe.
