Who they are
The Koiwat are an Indigenous people living along riverbanks and in the forests of the Sepik region in Papua New Guinea. They maintain a traditional way of life connected to farming, fishing, and community life in their villages. Although most of the population professes the Christian faith, the community continues to seek a deeper understanding of the Bible in their own mother tongue.
