Daga RiseCyclone Maila Recovery Day -- · Cluster 001
Milne Bay · Papua New Guinea
Still waiting. Still rising.
A mountain community of ten thousand in the Daga highlands survived Cyclone Maila — and has been waiting for help ever since. So far, almost no one outside has come.
Verified: Cyclone Maila (April 2026) was a Category 5 storm — the strongest in Port Moresby's recorded history — and struck Milne Bay Province. Months later, remote communities report receiving little or no assistance from authorities. Daga is one of them.
Daga sits in highlands reachable only on foot and by air. Maila destroyed homes, gardens, and the coffee that feeds these families. The plan is built — what's missing is the funding to move it, and the world's attention.
365 kg staged
Medicine, oxygen, solar power, and shelter canvas — packed and waiting in Alotau for the airlift.
Two hubs ready
Agaun Station and Bonara Primary School, with named nurses and medical officers waiting to receive.
The coffee road
186 bags of Daga coffee to bring out — restoring how these families feed themselves. Recovery and sovereignty in one act.
A pilot on standby
Aviation partners with 1,000+ medevacs are ready. The decision waits on funds to fly.
"This is not charity. This is accompaniment. Daga was already building — we are helping them finish what the storm interrupted."
"On behalf of the mothers in Daga we convey our happy Mother's Day. We thank you and your beautiful family for looking forward to raising Daga to the world. We start our journey together."— Dulcie Gray, primary receiver, Bonara
