Hello
Welcome
Welcome to DesYaninen.com — the official platform of Des Yaninen, empowering changemakers through faith, business, community and innovation across Papua New Guinea, the Pacific, and beyond. Let’s build legacy together.
Causes I Care About
Everything I do, every project, platform, and conversation, is driven by a deep commitment to empowering people to rise, build, and thrive. I believe in the power of business as a force for transformation, not just profit. When people are equipped to launch and grow enterprises, they create jobs, solve problems, and shape the future of their families and communities. I’ve made it my mission to teach, mentor, and invest in entrepreneurs across Papua New Guinea and the Pacific.
But business alone isn’t enough. At the center of everything I believe is faith—faith in God, faith in purpose, and faith in people. My walk with God gives me strength, direction, and clarity in a noisy world. I champion faith-based leadership because I’ve seen what happens when values guide decisions and when divine principles anchor strategy.
I also care deeply about community empowerment. I’ve worked with youth, women, prisoners, the homeless, and under-resourced communities. Everyone deserves opportunity. I believe in second chances, in building people up, not writing them off. That’s why I run charities, speak in schools, and create programs that unlock potential where others only see problems.
Finally, I am passionate about technology and innovation. We’re living in a digital age, and the Pacific cannot afford to be left behind. From digital transformation to fintech, from eGov platforms to local startups, I believe technology can level the playing field. I’m committed to using it to build inclusive systems that serve people better.
This is my calling: to empower, to uplift, to innovate, and to inspire, so that others may rise and lead in their own right.
