Currently consisting of 2,600 members, HOAC is one of the oldest Fairtrade certified organisations. The premium received from Fairtrade has gone towards creating better road access into HOAC, which has been its primary concern. This has not only allowed better access for locals and emergency vehicles but has created much needed jobs for residents living along the road to keep it maintained. Education for the next generation is a key concern for the area, with only 50% of Papuans achieving three years of education. By building four permanent elementary schools and purchasing textbooks and desks from their premium, HOAC are on their way to achieving higher education.
