Our Dream

"... The day will come when Enga Province will be judged not by our population or economic growth, nor by the splendor of our provincial capital town and public buildings, but;

by the well-being of our people:

by the levels of our education, health and nutrition:

by our opportunities to earn a fair reward for our labors;

by our ability to participate freely in the decisions that affect our lives;

by the respect that is shown for our civil and political liberties;

by the level of peace and social order;

by the provision that is made for our women and children who are vulnerable and disadvantaged and;

the protection that is afforded to the growing minds and bodies of our children…"
