Social outreach is an integral part of Perenco's approach to conducting business. We focus on sustainable development, Wherever we operate, every effort is made to improve quality of life while preserving traditional culture and values.
We provide skills transfer and financial support aimed to help develop entrepreneurial ventures geared to local needs such as sewing enterprises, tree nurseries, and other activities which may be sustained long after Perenco leaves the area.
We provide and install electricity, potable water, sanitation, roads and bridges.
We work together with communities to build schools and provide teachers. We also provide school materials (such as desks, chairs and blackboards), school meals and school transport - both by river and road. We actively encourage higher education within local communities.
We support professional medical care, immunisation campaigns, prenatal examinations and health education programs designed to help reduce mortality and disease.
