Is a child less deserving of equal opportunity in education just for being born far from the cities?
Pak Amon Fautngil is a respected teacher and principal who has dedicated his life to developing education infrastructure on the Indonesian island of Kei Besar. In 2022, he opened the first vocational high school on the island to help students gain better career prospects.
Isolated from effective government support on multiple social issues, most students cannot focus on school, and very rarely can they build a career aside from continuing their struggling family business within the island.
Pak Amon urgently requests help to send around 60 of his students from SMK Kasih Theresia Bombay to learn in bigger Indonesian cities, as there are not enough resources for quality learning within the island. Most of these students are orphaned and all lack financial support.
Your donations will help fund the costs of developing the school building on the island as well as sending out advanced students to Ambon and Jakarta for practical career experience.
The short-term goal for the program is Rp. 100-150 jt (9200 USD), but we will keep gathering funds until 30,600 USD to send out all ~60 students or reallocate the funds to the school's development if time does not permit.
The money goes straight to the school. Any amount counts!
