Build Schools in Indonesia from Recycled Plastic

In 2016, PAUD Sumber Kasih began its journey in Sumba Barat Daya, Nusa Tenggara Timur, without a proper building. The school initially used the terrace of a teacher's house, an inadequate and uncomfortable space that barely served the needs of the young learners.

With 30 students and 2 dedicated teachers, PAUD Sumber Kasih faced significant challenges due to the lack of a proper building. The learning environment was far from ideal, limiting the children's ability to engage fully in their education.

Thanks to the generous support of the community and donors, PAUD Sumber Kasih has been transformed. The school now has:

- 2 newly built classrooms
- A dedicated toilet facility
- Proper furniture for the students and teachers
- Outdoor toys and educational materials

To ensure the sustainability and success of PAUD Sumber Kasih, a 3-year program has been implemented, That includes Waste Management Training, School Management Training, and monitoring of the school.

This program is not just about providing a building; it's about creating a sustainable and thriving educational environment. Over the next three years, the community will see increased student enrollment, improved educational outcomes, and a stronger sense of ownership and responsibility for the school and the environment.

The transformation of PAUD Sumber Kasih and the implementation of the 3-year program have set the stage for long-term success. This remarkable change was made possible by the unwavering support of those who believed in the potential of PAUD Sumber Kasih. Thank you for your generosity and commitment to providing a better education and a brighter future for these children. Your support has truly made a difference.

PAUD Cempaka Putih, located in Gunyan Asri Village, Bayan Sub-district, North Lombok Regency - West Nusa Tenggara. Since its establishment in 2016, they have borrowed a single classroom from SDN 2 Akar-Akar to conduct its learning activities. 

However, PAUD Cempak Putih was later informed that they needed to relocate as the current building was required for the needs of SDN 2 Akar-Akar, leaving them without a building to conduct learning activities.

Thanks to your generous support, we could provide a safer, eco-friendly school with 2 classrooms with decent furniture, 1 lavatory with a wash station, toys, and a playground. 

Your support has led to a substantial increase in student enrollment. Before, they only had 23 students, but this year, they have 42. Additionally, the school received a B accreditation, marking a significant achievement compared to no previous accreditation. Our impact extends beyond the classrooms, reaching approximately 150 community members who have benefited from our efforts.

Thank you for making this possible and helping us provide a secure learning environment yet an earthquake-resistant building. Together, we can turn the tide on plastic pollution and provide a better environment for future generations.
