First and foremost, I would like to thank all of you who have contributed to our cause, it has been a difficult time globally due to this dreadful pandemic and we are all facing problems caused by it.
We at YCAB have been working fantastically hard to help our beneficiaries through these troubled times. We have targeted our help to the families of our Learning House children to ensure the children are kept safe from this illness.
So far we have given out 486,835 cloth masks, and 50,832 bottles of hand sanitizer.
72,310 sets of PPE to keep the breadwinners of the family working, and as spoken about in our last report our #lightup Indonesia campaign. https://www.lightup.id/ had at that point helped a little over Two thousand families pay for their electricity bills. That campaign has now ended and we are ecstatic to report to you that we closed by helping one hundred and seventy-seven thousand families to keep their lights on.
There are still problems for the children's education that we are currently addressing. School is still out in Indonesia and all work is done via online schooling, our children do not have access to computers, so all assignments are done on a mobile phone. The problem they now face is, with limited funds coming into the home, hundreds of thousands of families cannot afford the data packages for their child to continue their education during a key part of their lives.
We have launched a fundraiser here on GlobalGiving to help buy Data packages to keep these children learning.
Please follow this link and give generously.

Until next time, stay safe, stay well, stay generous.
