A single mother of four's gratitude to Prime Minister Marape for HELP

After the graduation ceremony on April 5, 2024, at the University of Technology in Lae, Ms. Yure Wai, a resilient single mother from Chimbu, now residing in West New Britain, expressed her profound gratitude towards Prime Minister Hon. James Marape. The reason? The transformative impact of the Higher Education Loan Programme (HELP) on her family's life. Her son, Ismael Wai, proudly graduated with a Bachelor of Business in Management, a milestone achieved with the support of HELP, a flagship initiative of the Marape Government since 2020.
This touching story sheds light on the broader success of HELP, which has supported over 35,000 students across 58 institutions nationwide, with an investment totaling K178 million up until 2023. Prime Minister Marape's announcement at the ceremony underscored the government's commitment to increasing education accessibility, with a further K50 million allocated for 2024.
Apart from HELP, the Tertiary Education Study Assistance Scheme (TESAS), has benefited more than 67,763 students from 2020 to 2023 with K291 million in funding. This year alone, 19,600 students are set to benefit from an unprecedented K83 million in funding.
Join us as we explore the life-changing journey of Ismael Wai and his family, highlighting the pivotal role of HELP in fostering educational opportunities for Papua New Guineans. This narrative not only celebrates the success of this government initiatives but also illustrates the power of education to transform lives and communities.

Thank you PMJM for this initiation for the HELP Program. I am similar to this brother but worse to my parents. My parents are illiterate and back in a rural village and do not earn much income in a month but thank God for giving the PM a fantastic idea for initiation to help unfortunate ones like me and this brother. Because of this HELP Program, I got loans in my second year all the way to my final year and graduated with a Mechanical Engineering degree at UoT. Thank you mama for testifying regardless of the many negativities to our PM.

Our PM-JM may not be a perfect leader, but even Jesus the perfect leader was mocked by those He come to save. Thank you PM for helping the needy from your level. for that is what the Lord requires from His followers. God bless your leadership for He knows why he choose you.

[@simonandaijah3796]

Some good things happening unnoticed from such establishment put forth by our good PMJM but without analyzing all sides to the coin lots of Negativities are circulating the air from too much political hatredism.
