Many local children living in slums on Batam Island, Indonesia, whose families can’t afford school fees, spend their days collecting and selling rubbish with their parents in order to support the family. Without education, they have few options to build a life out of poverty.
This projects supports teachers’ salaries so they can provide education at preschools established in Batam’s informal settlements. The schools give vulnerable kids free, quality education that every child deserves. Students learn basic reading, writing and maths, as well as music, art and social skills. They are equipped with the knowledge and skills needed to participate and thrive in the public primary school system and have the chance to break the cycle of poverty. All the teachers are trained and hired from within the local community, providing a rare opportunity for quality, stable employment.
