As part of its continued commitment to education across Papua New Guinea, Theodist Limited recently donated 25 desks and 25 chairs to St. Mary’s Inaui Primary School in Central Province, helping to create a more comfortable and effective learning space for students as well as ease the pressure on teachers. The donation was officially handed over during a ceremony attended by Members of Parliament, Government Ministers, Department Secretaries, parents, teachers, and students. The event also marked the launch of several other important community projects in the area. Speaking at the ceremony, Theodist CEO Mr. Kumar Baliah shared the company's motivation behind the contribution. “Today is more than just a delivery of desks. It is a reaffirmation of the values we at Theodist hold dear: community, education, responsibility, and opportunity.” “These desks are tools of hope. When students have a desk of their own, it tells them: You matter. Your future matters.” He also acknowledged the importance of collaboration in supporting education in PNG: “We understand that government alone cannot meet every need. It is up to all of us, the private sector, the public sector and the people to work together. That is why Theodist is proud to partner in this small but meaningful way.” In addition to the furniture donation, the school recently purchased much-needed stationery and classroom supplies through Theodist, benefiting from the company’s school loyalty program, which allowed them to stretch their budget further and invest in critical learning tools. School Principal Lucy Isoaimo expressed her gratitude during the ceremony. “We are very grateful to Theodist not only for the desks and chairs, but also for their ongoing support to our school and the education sector.” “The special pricing for school orders has helped us save so much. Their customer service keeps us coming back. We look forward to many more years of collaboration.” The initiative is part of Theodist’s broader Education Support Program, which has been helping schools across PNG for over five decades. From providing essential classroom resources to supporting education-focused partnerships, the company remains a dedicated partner in shaping the nation’s future. Theodist believes every student deserves access to a quality learning experience. By providing resources like desks and stationery, schools like St. Mary continue to educate the next generation of Papua New Guineans. St. Mary’s serves students from nearby villages where access to essential classroom resources is often limited. Theodist continues to stand alongside communities throughout PNG in their efforts to build opportunity through education and create a better future for all.
