Local female artist Ronilla Kosi, known by her stage name Moho'Nilla, will host her major fundraising event next month, the Moho’Nilla Charity Compilation Concert, to raise funds to support and improve maternal health in the rural areas of Eastern Highlands Province. The 34 years old, who was nominated for the Female Artist of the Year category at the Yumi FM PNG Music Awards in 2020 for her song titled "Goroka", began singing at the age of 3 and officially entered the music industry at 17. So far, she has produced 11 songs available on all major music platforms. Ms. Kosi is not only a talented songwriter and singer but is also committed to using her talent for the benefit of others. She strives to share love and support with those in need, finding happiness in helping others. She emphasized that the primary reason for her charity drive is to support and improve maternal health in the rural areas of Ungai-Bena District by establishing the Sigerehi Bel Mama Wait Karim Haus. This facility will provide a safe and accessible space for expectant mothers to stay close to healthcare services before delivery. Currently, many pregnant women in the region face significant challenges, including long and often hazardous journeys to medical facilities, which endangers both their lives and those of their babies. By creating a dedicated space for these mothers, the project seeks to reduce maternal and infant mortality rates, ensuring that more women have access to timely and essential medical care. This charity drive is crucial for raising the funds necessary to complete the construction and operational setup of the facility, ultimately contributing to the overall health and well-being of the community. She highlighted that for her first project, she sold branded hoodies as a fundraiser in October 2023 to support breast cancer fighter Ms. Samantha Sasama, who needed chemotherapy treatment in the Philippines in 2024. Kosi sold hoodies to individuals and presented Ms. Sasama with K1001.00 in cash. In her second project, she is constructing the Sigerehi Bel Mama Wait Karim Haus, with a total project cost of K22,136.20. "We hosted our first charity concert on the evening of August 31, 2024, at New Channel Inn in Goroka, targeting individuals and businesses, and we still need funds to complete the project. With the assistance of local businesses that purchased tables, we have raised K8550.00. Therefore, we are organizing a second charity concert this year," Kosi said. The funds raised at the upcoming event will be used to purchase building materials to extend the Bel Mama House at Siregehe Health Centre, Upper Bena, in Ungai-Bena District. “I am reaching out with a heartfelt appeal to individuals and businesses to join us in this special fundraising effort for the Sigerehi Bel Mama Wait Karim Haus. This charity concert is not just an event; it is a beacon of hope for expectant mothers in the rural areas of Ungai-Bena District, ensuring they receive the care and support they need. “As a girl, I dreamed of using my singing talent to make a difference in the lives of those in need. Today, with the grace of the Lord and the unwavering support of the Moho'Nilla Charity Working Committee, Wan Groove Band, and our generous contributors, that dream is becoming a reality. This project is a testament to the power of community and compassion.” “We invite you to purchase a table for this meaningful event, held at the Steak Haus (Hotel Phoenix) on February 15th, 2025. Your participation will not only grant you access to a captivating performance but will also directly contribute to a cause that saves lives. Let’s come together to make a difference. Every contribution brings us closer to completing this vital project and uplifting the lives of many,” she said. Sponsors and attendees of Moho’Nilla’s Charity Compilation Concert should be informed of the following: Table (for 6 people): K800, Valentine’s Special (for 2 people): K500, Single Ticket: K100 (Includes a two-course meal and one complimentary wine bottle per table), Moho'Nilla Music Merchandise will also be sold.
