One of the Government's key commitments is to leave no child behind. The State's national petroleum and energy company, Kumul Petroleum Holdings Limited supports this initiative by hosting its annual charity golf for five licensed out of home care centres in the country.
Through its Charity Golf Challenge, Kumul Petroleum has provided more than K500,000 to assist five Out of Home Care Centres licensed by the National Office of Child and Family Services.
The five centres are the Born Free Foundation and 3-Mile New Hope Centre in the National Capital District, St. Mary's Home for Vulnerable Children and Bible Faith Outreach in the Western Highlands Province, and the St Francis Care Centre in Mendi, Southern Highlands Province.
In the 2025 Charity Golf Challenge, over K150,000 was raised through team participation, corporate partner sponsorships, and proceeds from the auctions held during the event. Funds raised were recently presented to the five care centres.
Kumul Petroleum managing director, Luke Liria said that since 2022, the Born Free Foundation has received K115,000, 3 Mile New Hope Centre K45,000, Bible Faith Outreach K140,000, St. Mary's Home for Vulnerable Children K90,000 and St Francis Care Centre has received K140,000.
"This is all thanks to the golfers and the sponsors who participate in our Charity Golf Challenge. We would not have been able to make such donations without their support."
"This year's Charity Golf Challenge will be held this Friday at the Port Moresby Royal Golf Club and almost 30 teams have registered, so we are appealing to the business community to support this cause by registering a team." Mr. Liria said.
