School and Dormitory

Indonesia

On one of Indonesia’s remote islands, lack of access to clean water and quality education were seen to be two of the root causes of poverty.  Having built strong ties with the community and engaged locals in the decision-making processes, our project partner has turned aspirations into realities with the installation of a water pump and the construction of a school.  Now almost a decade on, these fundamental community assets have left a lasting legacy on the lives of many children and families. 

The aim of this project is to continue to build upon the school’s management and teaching capacity by upskilling staff through professional development mentoring and performance evaluations.  As fees are not yet affordable for most families, scholarships are provided to assist in the cost of running the school and to establish a new dormitory for year six students.

Key Areas of Expenditure:

• Scholarships for Children-at-Risk
• School staff professional development
• Dormitory setup costs
