We understand the country, its unique opportunities, challenges & people.

Over the past 10 years, our foundation has successfully implemented a variety of high-impact projects that range from the delivery of $25M USD of medical supplies to a national campaign addressing gender-based violence and sorcery accusation-related violence. Our top priority is leadership development because we are passionate about nation transformation.

We take pride in our leaders

Leadership is key.

Based on efforts across the nation, as well as working with a wide variety of local and international partners, we have come to agree with the great leadership expert and author John Maxwell when he says, “Everything rises and falls on leadership.”

Because of this understanding, while still continuing with our health and education projects, we have shifted our focus primarily to the development of great leaders and strategic resource management.

Programs

Senisim PNG

Senisim PNG is a strategic partnership between the Papua New Guinea Tribal Foundation (“Tribal Foundation”) and the Maxwell Leadership Foundation. Senisim PNG will work over a 5-year period and focus on Injecting good values and servant leadership into society, creating a national movement of like-minded people who truly care about the future of Papua New Guinea, and focusing on improving three common agenda items over the five years. The first common agenda item is to end sorcery accusation-related violence (“SARV”) in Papua New Guinea.

Senisim Pasin

Senisim Pasin is a culturally changing national campaign centered around our film by the same name. It takes a positive and innovative approach to the dark subject of gender-based violence and often leaves participants aspiring to be part of the movement. Senisim Pasin is built on the belief that Papua New Guinea can improve how women are valued by society, and, in fact, the change is already happening.
