Project Overview
This initiative is led by our community project organization partner in Bogor, West Java, who focuses their effort in giving the underprivileged youth practical skills such as basic IT/Web design, film/photography, music/art/writing, sewing/cooking/gardening techniques, as well as English language to find suitable opportunities for employment or further education.
The project is about instilling aspiration to marginalized youths that they can change their lives and that nothing is impossible.
Since being established in 2002, the community project organization we worked with has developed eight training programs to equip the marginalized youths with knowledge to prepare them in joining the workforce and improve their living conditions. The program manages training initiatives such as city tour service business, online store for textile and handcrafting products, and graphic design company.
The organization has also sponsored many families to send their children to public schools.
