Supporting the Government’s commitment to leave no child behind, Papua New Guinea’s national petroleum and energy company, Kumul Petroleum Holdings Limited (KPHL), will host its annual Charity Golf Challenge this Friday to raise funds for five licensed out-of-home care centres across the country.

Through the annual tournament, Kumul Petroleum has already contributed more than K500,000 to assist five 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.

During the 2025 Charity Golf Challenge, over K150,000 was raised through team registrations, corporate partner sponsorships, and live event auctions, with all proceeds recently presented to the five beneficiary centres.

Kumul Petroleum Managing Director, Mr. Luke Liria, noted that since 2022, cumulative funding has distributed K140,000 each to Bible Faith Outreach and St. Francis Care Centre, K115,000 to the Born Free Foundation, K90,000 to St. Mary’s Home for Vulnerable Children, and K45,000 to the 3-Mile New Hope Centre.

“This is all thanks to the golfers and sponsors who participate in our Charity Golf Challenge. We would not have been able to make such donations without their support,” Mr. Liria said.

“This year’s Charity Golf Challenge will be held this Friday at the Royal Port Moresby Golf Club, and almost 30 teams have already registered. We are appealing to the wider business community to support this worthy cause by registering a team.”
