PETRONAS runs the Yetagun Socio-Economic Programme, working with disadvantaged communities living along the pipeline area in Kanbauk and also in Yangon. The programme focuses mainly on education, nutrition and primary healthcare, especially for children in primary schools.

Under this programme, Resource Learning Centres and home-based Early Childhood Care and Development (ECCD) centres were built to provide education to support the development of children during their early years of childhood, giving them the opportunity to grow up healthy and safe. Through the establishment of 30 learning centres and four home based ECCD centres, more than 5000 young children have benefited. The centre also conducts reproductive health awareness programmes to help local communities improve pre-natal and delivery care, and to prevent HIV/AIDS.
