*all costs given below are estimates, with full budgets and building quotes refined once a project has a potential funder.
The Triangle School
Project Type: Large Renovation
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $25,000 USD
Students: 50
About
The Triangle School comes from a proposal to combine two schools into one new school. Both schools don’t actually have a space and take place in two nearby villages. At the moment, both schools operate from the local community banjar building. They have very little in the way of supplies, materials or space. School is often shut for long periods during ceremony time. If we can find the support, we can renovate a nearby broken teacher’s house and turn it into a fantastic new school. The project will bring two nearby villages together to create a wonderful new large kindergarten that everybody can be proud of.
Serai Kindergarten
Project Type: Medium renovation
Percentage Complete: 10%
Remaining Costs: $8,100 USD
Students: 26
About
Surai Kindergarten is the only pre-school in this village. There are currently 26 students, but many children from the village do not go, due to the poor quality of the school. The majority of villagers here are farmers and laborers. Teachers struggle to provide a good quality of education as the school’s supplies are all old, broken or both. New supplies and painting would reinvigorate this school and promote higher enrolment from local villagers. Supporters Hands of Empowerment and Bobbi have helped to support supplies so far – although we still need to replace the termite infested windows, doors and furniture, as well as more supplies.
Darma Putra Kindergarten
Project Type: Small Renovation
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $6,000 USD
Students: 36
About
With incredibly dedicated teachers, the community of Darma Putra has managed to create a very impressive kindergarten for their students. Although their building is old, they’ve painted and tried to make the classroom as colourful as possible. However, they lack supplies, have a missing ceiling and need some window replacements. The kindergarten would be complete with a trademark mural to truly bring it to life.
Kuncup Mekar Kindergarten
Project Type: Supplies Only
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $2,500 USD
Students: 23
About
Playdough, Legos, and puzzles are strange things for children in this preschool. Ordinarily, they never see those kinds of educational toys. They usually use only a pencil and notebook for study everyday every day at school. This school is currently moonlighting in the local community banjar building. It is located in Karengasem – Bali’s poorest regency. The school runs well and makes a nice fresh outdoor learning environment. Providing full furniture, arts and crafts supplies, games, toys and more will make a huge impact on the quality of education. As with all schools we support, we will keep a close eye on development as well as helping to train teachers in effective early stage education.
Widya Karya Kindergarten
Project Type: Building Renovation
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $14,000 USD
Students: 45
About
This pre-school is located at the foot of Mt. Agung. The dedicated teachers run activities at the community building every morning. It’s a borrowed building, but it has a decent sized room that the school is allowed to use indefinitely. The teacher is very creative, despite the lack of materials and supplies. Given new materials and supplies the school could have far better educational standards. Along with providing teacher training, we plan to provide new furniture, arts and crafts, a library corner, sports equipment and a full complement of educational toys.
Giri Shanti Kindergarten
Project Type: Supply only
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $1,200 USD
Students: 23
About
There is only one Pre-school in this village. They run school activities without enough supplies. Still, the dedicated teachers have made the school as bright and colorful as possible. The children only use one note book and a pencil for their studies. With the building in good condition, all they really need is school supplies, support and a mural painting that can give students fun new ways to learn.
