Hiawa has a school, a health hut, and a church.[1] The nearest big village is Nappi.[4] In 2016, a road was built connecting the village to Lethem.[2] In 2019, a multi-purpose building was constructed in the village.[5]
In 2016, the residents of Hiawa launched a protest, because their requests for land extensions were not being processed while private developers are encroaching on their territory.[6]
The economy of the village is based on agriculture. The main products are corn, sweet cassava, sweet potatoes, and bananas.[1]
