The 2.5 million kina Hela Education Program reflects ExxonMobil PNG’s commitment to partnering with government and communities to assist students in continuing their education and expanding their learning opportunities.

“ExxonMobil’s Education Program will provide over 3,000 students in Year eight to Year 12 the opportunity to continue their education. This program, the first of its kind in Hela, will keep students engaged in the classroom, enabling our young men and women to obtain the education needed to not only help themselves and their families, but also to support the broader development of Hela Province,” said Governor Philip Undialu.

The Hela Department of Education Director, Ronny Angu, also thanked ExxonMobil for supporting his department’s efforts on behalf of Hela’s youth.

The Paija Ipa Women's Agribusiness Group is sustaining the livelihood of more than ten community groups.

Established in 2019, Paija Ipa is just one example of how local groups across Hides, Hela Province, are mobilising into more enterprise-focused opportunities through the ExxonMobil PNG supported Community Livelihood Improvement Program (CLIP).

Paija Ipa Group Leader, Serah Tindipaya, said “"we used to see truckloads of vegetables coming from outside of Hela, and always asked ourselves why can't we produce such high-quality vegetables? We knew how to grow vegetables, but due to the more advanced production and business skills training from the CLIP team we now know how to grow vegetables for the market. We have become small entrepreneurs and are empowering others in the community with the confidence to help themselves.”

Selling their produce to the Hides Alliance Group (HAG), which supplies the Hides Gas Conditioning Plant, the women of Paija Ipa now have a regular income.

"I am so thankful to the CLIP team for their ongoing support, without CLIP we would not have come this far. ExxonMobil PNG’s support for CLIP and local communities is having a real positive impact here in Hela,” concluded Serah.
