On May 28, 2026, the Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to Timor-Leste paid his first official visit to Becora Technical High School.

During the visit, the Ambassador met with the school director, deputy director, and teachers, and learned more about the ongoing development of the school, especially in the Mechanical, Electrical, and Architecture departments.

The school director also guided the Ambassador around the campus, where he had the opportunity to visit each department and observe the students’ learning activities in person.

During the meeting, the school director expressed her sincere gratitude for the Ambassador’s visit and for KOICA’s continued support to Becora Technical High School since 2013. The Ambassador also expressed his appreciation for the warm welcome, strong cooperation, and dedication of the teachers in educating the students.

The visit reaffirmed Korea’s commitment to supporting technical and vocational education in Timor-Leste and providing young people with practical skills and better learning opportunities.

We hope this visit will further strengthen the cooperation between the Republic of Korea and Timor-Leste in supporting quality education and empowering young generations who will contribute to the development of this nation.

🌟 Exciting progress in school health 🌟

On 15 May 2026, KOICA attended the Dissemination workshop of the SN5S Endline Survey under Timor-Leste’s “Say No to 5S (SN5S)” School Health Programme (2022–2026). The survey has completely covered 65 schools, 2,114 students, and 276 teachers across all 14 municipalities. The main finding is; Five years ago, most teachers weren't trained to promote health, but now, 75% are equipped to make a difference! 95.5% of schools have a written health or no-smoking policy. Functional drinking water in schools has nearly tripled! To***co use among students is on the decline. Almost every child surveyed has had a school health visit, with 81% dewormed in the past year.

Thanks to the WHO, the University of Gadjah Mada-Indonesia, and everyone who contributed! Your efforts are vital for our children's health and well-being.

Partners / Key participants included:
o Ms. Suji Lee, Deputy KOICA Country Director
o Dr. Arvind Mathur, WHO Representative
o Ms. Katyna Argueta, UNDP Resident Representative
o Dr. Ali Ahmad Khan, Head of Program, WFP
o Dr. Elizabeth Leto Mau, Director General PHC, MoH
o Mr. Fernando Soares, National Director, representing the Ministry of Education

KOICA will continue to work closely with national institutions and partners to strengthen school health systems and promote healthy lifestyles for children and adolescents across Timor-Leste.

Let’s continue working together for a healthier future! 💪🇹🇱

On May 13 to 14, KOICA Timor-Leste Office and our WFK (World Friends Korea) volunteers gathered for the Annual Safety Training and Volunteer’s Day. This event successfully strengthened our volunteers’ capacity by sharing practical knowledge essential for future field activities. 🌱

🌟 Successful Handover Ceremony Held 🌟

On 29 April 2026, the Handover Ceremony for the project “Climate Action for the Last Mile: Reaching the Most Vulnerable Children in East Asia and Pacific Region” was successfully held in Hera, Dili, Timor-Leste.

The event was honored by the presence of distinguished guests, including:
● Ms. Youn Hwa Kang, Country Director, KOICA Timor-Leste Office
● Ms. Patrizia diGiovanni, UNICEF Resident Representative
● H.E. Mr. Dr. Flavio Brandao, Delegate of the Minister of Health, Vice Minister for Operationalization Hospital, Ministry of Health
● Mr. Marcolino Babo, Delegate from Ministry of Public Works, National Director
● Mr. Mateus Pinto, Delegate from Dili Municipal Authority, Director
● Mr. Antonio Marques da Silva, Hera Suco Chief
along with project stakeholders and community members

The ceremony marked the official handover of key climate-smart facilities, including a solar mini-grid system powering the Hera Health Post, nearby school, and community centre, as well as upgraded water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) facilities designed to withstand climate-related shocks .

These improvements are expected to significantly enhance service delivery at the community level. Reliable solar-powered electricity supports essential health services, including vaccine cold chain management, while strengthened WASH facilities improve water supply, sanitation coverage, and hygiene conditions in schools—contributing to a safer and more conducive learning environment for children.

The ceremony highlighted the strong partnership between the Republic of Korea and Timor-Leste, working together to strengthen climate resilience and ensure continued access to essential services for vulnerable communities.

We sincerely thank all partners and participants for their dedication and contribution to the successful implementation of this project. We look forward to its continued positive impact on children and communities across Timor-Leste.
