The Kids Foundation
Together for a bright future
The BATU BAMBU KIDS Foundation is a 100% non-profit organisation with a strong vision:
“Every child from our village needs to have access to a holistic education - irrespective of religion, financial background of the family or any physical and mental disabilities the child may have.
A holistic education to us is an education where kids have individual opportunity to grow, to gain life skills, which are not necessarily thought in the local Indonesian school system”.
Currently, Kuta, Lombok is undergoing massive growth and development in the tourism industry. As tourism is increasing rapidly and more accommodation and restaurants are being built, the need for English speaking locals is increasing. This is ‘opening the doors’ for the kids and giving them a great opportunity for the future. But our focus is not just only on English classes. We teach life skills, creative thinking and self-belief. We give the kids the opportunity to access books, to experience music, art, yoga, dance, crafts are most importantly, environmental awareness.
Next to our ‘Learning Centre’, we are building the first ‘Plastic Recycling Centre’ in Kuta, Lombok. This is a great project for the whole community of our village, where our children and their parents can be involved. We can recycle most forms of plastic. We already have a machine to shred the plastics, a big industrial oven to melt plastic and also a custom machine, which injects the melted plastic into any moulds we choose.
We try to recycle as much plastic from our village as possible, even though, in the end, it is not about the quantity we recycle, but rather the quality of the engagement process for the community.
Our aim is to teach environmental awareness to our community, through action and not just theory.
