community investment and capacity building

2
Our community investments in Timor-Leste have a specific focus on education, health, environmental management and capacity building. Our investment is driven by relationships; with our employees, our stakeholders and the communities in which we live and work. Education Our commitment to youth and education in Timor-Leste is demonstrated by supporting educational institutions and programs. Our Fulbright-SERN Scholarship Program enables talented Timorese students to pursue post-graduate studies in oil and gas related areas in the United States of America. Negotiated in conjunction with the US Embassy and the National Petroleum Authority, it assists with education fees, English language tuition and other expenses. We recognise the vital role that education and literacy play in the life paths of children. To this end, we also support the Alola Foundation’s Education and Literacy Program which develops learning and teaching resources, undertakes professional teacher development and operates an Education Resource Centre. Health We also support Alola’s Maternal and Child Health Program, which aims to reduce infant and maternal mortality by offering educational resources and support for expectant mothers. Another important relationship is with St. John of God Outreach Services and the Timor-Leste Government to help deliver the Nursing and Pathology Development Program in Dili National Hospital. This project is aimed at decreasing mortality and morbidity among patients treated in Timor-Leste’s public hospitals through improved nursing standards. Capacity Building We have sought to help build local capacity and skills in agricultural production, through partnering with USAID to expand the reach of its Horticulture Project which provides farmers with skills development in the areas of fruit and vegetable production, sales and marketing. The project has reached hundreds of farming families and contributed to sustainable community development outcomes. Farmers have improved the quality of their farms and homes, increased their incomes, and now contribute to community activities that benefit the whole village. The Balibo Fort Restoration Program is another initiative that has important historical and cultural significance as well as supporting tourism growth. Environmental Management With our support Santalum, has delivered a Reforestation Project involving the planting of more than 10,000 seedlings in Tasi Tolu to prevent soil erosion. The success has prompted expansion of a second reforestation project in Kasait. We have supported many other initiatives, ranging from health and education to the arts and disaster relief. We welcome applications for community investment projects throughout the calendar year, however we encourage submissions by April/May for consideration in the following year's funding. Applications can be submitted via email to [email protected] Community Investment and Capacity Building

Our community investments in Timor-Leste have a specific focus on education, health, environmental management and capacity building. Our investment is driven by relationships; with our employees, our stakeholders and the communities in which we live and work.

Education Our commitment to youth and education in Timor-Leste is demonstrated by supporting educational

institutions and programs. Our Fulbright-SERN Scholarship Program enables talented Timorese students to pursue post-graduate studies in oil and gas related areas in the United States of America. Negotiated in conjunction with the US Embassy and the National Petroleum Authority, it assists with education fees, English language tuition and other expenses.

We recognise the vital role that education and literacy play in the life paths of children. To this end, we also support the Alola Foundation’s Education

and Literacy Program which develops learning and teaching resources, undertakes professional teacher development and operates an Education Resource Centre.

HealthWe also support Alola’s Maternal and Child Health Program, which aims to reduce infant and maternal mortality by offering educational resources and support for expectant mothers.

Another important relationship is with St. John of God Outreach Services and the Timor-Leste Government to help deliver the Nursing and Pathology Development Program in Dili National Hospital. This project is aimed at decreasing mortality and morbidity among patients treated in Timor-Leste’s public hospitals through improved nursing standards.

Capacity BuildingWe have sought to help build local capacity and skills in agricultural production, through partnering with USAID to expand the reach of its Horticulture Project which provides farmers with skills development in the areas of fruit and vegetable production, sales and marketing.

The project has reached hundreds of farming families and contributed to sustainable community development outcomes. Farmers have improved the quality of their farms and homes, increased their incomes, and now contribute to community activities that benefit the whole village. The Balibo Fort Restoration Program is another initiative that has important historical and cultural significance as well as supporting tourism growth.

Environmental ManagementWith our support Santalum, has delivered a Reforestation Project involving the planting of more than 10,000 seedlings in Tasi Tolu to prevent soil erosion. The success has prompted expansion of a secondreforestation project in Kasait.
