Who they are
The Arufe form a small indigenous community living in the forested areas of Papua New Guinea’s Western Province. They speak the Nambo language and preserve a communal way of life tied to farming and ancestral traditions. Christianity has been widely embraced by the people, who maintain a strong sense of solidarity and identity amid the challenges posed by the geographic isolation of their villages.
