Current Projects

Kampung Kids
Kampung Kids provides basic nutrition, healthcare, education and livelihood to low-income families.  Parents are often unable to afford school fees for their children and those children that do go to school are disadvantaged because they have not received any pre-school education.

Kampung Kids has responded to the problems in the kampung with a nutrition program to supply children’s daily meals; a doctor to monitor growth; a scholarship program to cover school fees, books and clothing; programs to teach women sewing skills to earn extra income for their families; and an elderly feeding program.

The CWA assists Kampung Kids by paying for the salary of a pre-school teacher and by providing scholarships for 26 elementary school-aged children.

YPAC
YPAC is a non-profit school providing education and therapy to students with physical and mental disabilities.  Each student is assessed by a team of specialists to determine the best course of treatment and approach to education.

The CWA will provide scholarships for impoverised families to ensure their children’s lives will not be marginalized and they will have the opportunity to realize their true place in society.

The Learning Farm
The Learning Farm is a five-month residential program for disadvantaged youth that trains them in life skills, organic farming and entrepreneurship.  While learning practical skills, responsibility and cooperation, the young people also contribute to the sustainability of the program by growing and marketing organic vegetables and herbs.

Money from the CWA Social Development committee contributes to the ongoing costs of feeding and housing the 45 youth, and paying for the teachers.

Pusaka 34A
Pusaka 34A provides nutritious meals three times per week and monthly medical check-ups for approximately 45 elderly citizens in the Bukit Duri region of South Jakarta.  It is a community-run operation that depends entirely on volunteers to cook and distribute meals.

CWA Social Development provides a monthly stipend to subsidize food and cooking fuel costs.

Budi Karya
Budi Karya is a training and community centre established in 1968 for people with learning disabilities.  It’s goal is to provide training in a variety of life skills for both children and adults with special needs so that they can reach their full potential.

Training is available in daily life skills: sewing, woodworking, weaving, and hair dressing.  By promoting self-sufficiency through these various programs, members of the Budi Karya community feel a sense of dignity and independence.  In addition to providing tools for self-sufficiency, Budi Karya also plays an important social role for members of the community and their families.

CWA Social Development supports Budi Karya by providing funds for instructors, building renovations, and learning materials.
