About ABLE

Empowering Communities, Building Futures

ABLE is a PNG not-for-profit organisation registered with the Investment Promotion Authority — the community development arm of the SISAL family, focused on livelihood empowerment and grassroots capacity building.

🌱 Our Mission

To empower Papua New Guinea's rural communities through livelihood programs that build skills, create opportunities, and strengthen local capacity for self-determined development.

🤲 Our Approach

Community-led, culturally grounded, and outcome-focused. We work with communities to identify their own development priorities, then provide the training, resources, and support needed to achieve them.

🏛️ Our Status

Registered NGO with the PNG Investment Promotion Authority (IPA). Fully constituted with transparent governance, financial accountability, and a board of directors committed to community empowerment.

🤝 Connection to SISAL

ABLE is the not-for-profit sister organisation of SISAL — funded by 15% of SISAL's gross revenue. SISAL builds enterprise through galip nut sales; ABLE builds community through health, education, and climate-resilience programs. Two halves of one possibility.
