Our Social Responsibility
Project Based
Initiatives
Connected South Pacific is always looking for ways to engage with and improve the communities in which we operate. This is particularly the case in remote areas where our projects are based.
Our social responsibility mandate ensures that every project we undertake has a core component that focusses on giving back to local communities.
Over the years, Connected South Pacific people have undertaken a range of activities and initiatives including organised charity events, upgrades to community and social infrastructure and the donation of sporting equipment and educational supplies.
Staff Charity
Events
At Connected South Pacific, we encourage our team members to participate in company organised charity events. We also encourage staff-driven events and activities along with volunteering opportunities, supporting these by contributing or donating dollar matching funds.
Young Children’s
Mentor Club (YCMC)
Working with Young Children’s Mentor Club on a national partnership arrangement, we raise money for the foundation and assist with donating ‘mentoring experiences’ to PNGs youth. The Young Children’s Mentors Club (YCMC) started out in 2014 as a collective of local Papua New Guinea community leaders and business men and women. This group of volunteers, led by Mr. Felix Koma, had a vision to guide and mentor young people as future leaders of their communities. Through this vision, those young people would be given the skills, knowledge and confidence to set them on a path of education, leadership and possible future careers.

Thanks so much for the wonderful opportunity that we had experience two days ago. What a mind blowing experience to meet and talk directly to people and companies that you had invited to come into this summit. I was so blessed to be part of this as this sort of events doesn’t happen so easily . I have learnt so much in those two days and I would like to extend my sincere thanks to you and your team for giving me the opportunity to part of this great event. On behalf of SBS Electrical Ltd, thank you!
