Penny Sage-embo

Penny Sage-embo (or Sagembo) is a social entrepreneur in Papua New Guinea.

Initially the organisation focused on caring for the orphans of HIV-positive parents, as both Penny and her husband Hayward worked as counsellors for people diagnosed with HIV and they were concerned for the future of their clients' children.

[3][4] In 2015 government aid assisted the centre to build classrooms and provide education at their site, as bus fares and transport to nearby schools had become prohibitive.

[3] In 2014 Sage-embo founded Joy’s Social Training Institute.

It aims to empower and motivate women through awareness raising, counselling, formal supervision and focused training programs for businesses and the community.
