Port Moresby, 13 May, 2025 - To celebrate Mother’s Day, ladies from O. M Holdings Limited (Oilmin), along with a representative from Nature's Cafe and Catering and Oilmin’s joint venture partner Jerilai Pujari Field Services Limited (JPFSL) came together to donate to the Labor and Postnatal ward at Port Moresby General Hospital on May 9, 2025.
As part of their focus on woman’s welfare, the group chose to celebrate Mother’s Day by visiting the very place where mothers have been in great need lately —the Labor and Postnatal Ward.
The day began with a short but meaningful visit to donate 39 cartons of essential items. These items included noodles, toilet tissue, laundry soap, baby wipes, diapers, sanitary napkins, and other necessities a cake was also baked and donated by Nature's Cafe. While the visit was brief, it carried a powerful message, to show both the mothers and the hardworking hospital staff that we care and appreciate them.
Oilmin’s Deputy Manager for Procurement and Logistics, Ms. Vicky Moab stated, “Today was truly special as we came together as a group of mothers with the help of Oilmin to donate and spread love and joy to women from the Labor and Postnatal wards.”
The experience was eye-opening for many of the ladies, who witnessed firsthand the plights faced by mothers in the labor ward. It was a humbling reminder of the importance of compassion and the act of giving.
Later in the visit, some of the ladies were given few minutes to personally hand out diapers, baby wipes, and baby clothes to mothers who didn’t have much, offering a warm smile and Mother’s Day wishes.
The Labor and Postnatal Ward’s Head of Department, Sr Mary Sita, expressed her gratitude to the organization and the ladies for the generous donations.
In addition to the company’s contributions, Oilmin’s Director/Shareholder, Ms. Georgina Leahy generously donated K500. Oilmin’s Chief Financial Officer, Ms. Rumbidzai Maguma, matched this with an additional K500. These funds were used to purchase further needed supplies. Some of the donated items also came from individual contributions by the ladies at Oilmin, whose generosity is sincerely appreciated.
The day concluded with a luncheon at Nature’s Café, where the ladies had a chance to relax, share stories, and enjoy each other’s company after a morning of giving.
Oilmin extends its gratitude to all the incredible women who made this donation possible. Oilmin’s board is pleased to support this initiative, and looks forward to continuing its involvement in helping communities in health, education and sports.
