Puma Energy recently announced plans to build a multi-purpose hall for Cheshire Disability Services at Hohola in Port Moresby. The project was officially launched on September 17 with a ground-breaking ceremony led by Governor-General His Excellency Sir Bob Dadae. The hall is expected to be completed early 2026 next year and will include a large area for residents and students, as well as office space for staff. Cheshire Disability Services provides education and care for children and adults living with disabilities in Port Moresby. General Manager of Cheshire Disability Services Gerald Bengesser, said that this is a boost to the work Cheshire does in the community. He later thanked Puma Energy for their support and said that will use this facility to run their programs and host events and trainings. “We thank Puma Energy for choosing to support our organization and for presenting the project as an Independence gift to people living with disabilities.” Meanwhile, speaking on behalf of Puma, Chairman of Puma Energy, Mr. Jiri Zrust highlighted the long-term support between the company and Cheshire Disability Services and the importance of this new project. “The company has been providing fuel support to Cheshire Disability Services for more than ten years.” “We are proud to further support the organization with a new multi-purpose hall that will provide the infrastructure necessary to help more people living with disabilities in Papua New Guinea (PNG).” The project coincides with the recent passage of the National Disabilities Services Bill in August 2025, which seeks to protect the rights of people living with disabilities. Moreover, one of the key areas the government aims to address under the bill is infrastructure for disability services. That is why the new hall is expected to strengthen Cheshire’s capacity to provide services and support to people living with disabilities in the country.
