Our Programs & Services
Delivering practical, scalable development solutions for communities, schools, and health facilities across Papua New Guinea.
ATprojects delivers integrated programs that combine infrastructure, training, and community engagement. Our services are designed to achieve lasting health, social, and economic benefits.
We design, manage, and implement WaSH projects for schools, communities, health facilities, and large-scale development partners. Our work includes: - Community and school toilet facilities (ATloo, Round Loo, VIP and UD toilets) - Rainwater harvesting systems and gravity-fed water supplies - Handwashing stations and hygiene infrastructure - Menstrual Health Management (MHM) facilities and education - Community health, hygiene, and gender awareness training We have successfully delivered WaSH projects for partners including EU–UNICEF, Wafi-Golpu Joint Venture, provincial governments, mining companies, and international NGOs, benefiting tens of thousands of people nationwide.
ATprojects designs and manufactures low-cost, durable sanitation products suitable for rural and periurban settings, including: - ATloo – a relocatable, easy-to-maintain toilet using local materials - Round Loo Slab – a research-based, low-cost squat toilet slab compliant with PNG building standards - Fibreglass Toilet Seats – accessible designs for the elderly and people with disabilities - Urine Diversion (UD) Toilets – ideal for high water-table areas These solutions are supported by training programs that ensure correct use, maintenance, and longterm health impact.
Since 2017, ATprojects has produced and distributed reusable menstrual pads in partnership with organisations such as Oxfam, UNICEF, Digicel Foundation, and Steamships. Our programs combine product distribution with education and awareness, helping improve school attendance and empower women and girls across Papua New Guinea.
ATprojects is the national implementing partner for the Light Up The World program in Papua New Guinea. We install and coordinate solar-powered LED lighting systems for rural aid posts, health centres, and community facilities, improving healthcare delivery in areas without grid electricity.
We design and supply low-cost medical waste incinerators suitable for small and rural health facilities. These systems provide a safe and practical solution for disposing of medical and menstrual hygiene waste, reducing health risks and environmental contamination.
In remote areas where access is limited, ATprojects designs and constructs low-cost cable footbridges. These projects improve access to health services, education, and markets, and are delivered through strong community participation and skills transfer.
Our National Appropriate Technology Centre, located near Goroka, provides a unique residential training environment. We offer: - Practical technical training programs - Community development and WaSH training - Workshop facilities for hands-on learning The centre demonstrates many of the technologies promoted by ATprojects and supports learning in a safe, focused, rural setting.
We have partnered with these organizations to successfully deliver some of the projects.
