On 12 June 2006, PBI signed a client contract with LP3BH, which is a Manokwari-based NGO. The major focus of LP3BH lies in the empowerment of local society through basic education and advocacy about basic rights, human rights and legal aid. LP3BH works all over the Bird's Head area of Western Papua with special focus on the districts of: Manokwari, Teluk Bintuni and Teluk Wondama (Wasior).

Yan Christian Warinussy, Executive Director, LP3BH, was the winner of the Canadian John Humphrey Freedom Award. He fears that his heightened profile will bring more threats from the authorities. In 1998 he spent three months in jail, and he has also been threatened with a gun. Both these incidents were directly linked to his work. There are currently 8 people working for LP3BH and 5 volunteers.
