Current Projects

Sinar Pelangi
Sinar Pelangi is a centre where poor people can go for medical assistance. Sister Andre, who runs this yayasan (institute), raises funding for medical operations here and abroad. Operations run the gauntlet from cleft palate surgery to heart operations to treatment for burn victims.  Many of the patients are treated over extended periods of time involving multiple operations. In addition to facilitating medical care, the centre provides accommodation for patients and orphans, job training for nursing staff and assistance to patients during recovery periods.

Pekayon
At this well run yayasan, CWA helps provide nutritional programs and scholarships. This is another yayasan that Sister Andre has established. At the present time, this program is running smoothly and is providing assistance to many children.

Esti Bakti
Esti Bakti is a school in North Jakarta that we have been funding for several years. This year our donations to Esti Bakti supplemented a nutrition program at the school.  A healthy lunch is provided daily to the children. Funding was also provided to help upgrade the classrooms to protect them from flooding and to upgrade the teachers’ accommodations.

Balita Sehat
his is a well-baby clinic located in Cepete. The CWA supports their milk supplement program and medical assistance services for Indonesian mothers. This is an extremely well run clinic that was initially set up for the assistance of expatriates with small babies but has been expanded to address the needs of Indonesian mothers in the area. In addition to consultation services the clinic provides job training and assistance in the development of parenting skills.

Lion’s Club Jelambar Clinic
This clinic, located in the Jelambar area, is a project initiated by the Lion’s Club Metropolitan Jakarta. The CWA assisted by providing funding for the purchase of medical equipment for the clinic. The clinic is staffed through the assistance of the medical faculty at Trisakti University and is much needed by the poor in this area. We currently provide financial support to the Lion’s Club Trisakti University for their efforts to provide a nutrition education and food assistance program in this area.

Kencana Mandiri
CWA has provided funding assistance for this multi-purpose health and family planning clinic. With the funds many Indonesian men and women were able to take long term measures to manage their family planning strategy. Family planning can be the first needed step to raise a family’s overall economic standing which will in turn uplift its long term standard of living. Funds are also used to help support a new under-five feeding and nutrition program so that more children can get a better start in life.

Surya Wiyata
This school in east Jakarta provides education and assists the development of life skills for handicapped students. Last year a portion of the funds raised were used to  purchase hearing aids for twenty students.  Most of these students had only been able to share a couple of hearing aids while they were in classes at the school but for the rest of the time were doing without. With the purchase of hearing aids these students can now hear full time. It was particularly special to watch two students, who had never used a hearing aid before, hear their own voices for the first time.

Amal Mulia
Amal Mulia is an orphanage working hard to gain self-sufficiency. Until that time, CWA routinely supports them with funding contributions for food and scholarships. Most recently, funds were provided for a wartel business (a telecommunications agency) which appears to be a great source of regular income for the orphanage. CWA is also organizing donations of computer equipment to further increase the capabilities of the orphanage for generating revenue and becoming self-sufficient.

Nural Iman
This yayasan is run by a local Indonesian who has devoted his life to this school. Though he has donated  a lot of his own personal income to the school, CWA assists with additional funds needed for a nutrition program. Nural Iman offers schooling and  meals to many needy street children. The children in this program range in age from 6  to 19. To teach self-sufficiency, the students also learn to handcraft articles which the yayasan sells to offset the rising costs of operating the school.

Puska 34A
CWA has had a long standing relationship with this yayasan over the years. Well run and interesting to visit, this yayasan provides meals and medical services to 45 elderly men and women as well as programs for lunches and scholarships to students.
