Iseh Village Kindergarten
Project Type: Supply and paint project
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $5,000 USD
About
Iseh is well known as a historical village, in the mountainous region of Karengasem. The kindergarten has had limited support before from visitors to the village and so has been one of the areas of pride for the community. However, in recent times, the school has seen it’s supplies grow old and worn, with education quality suffering. The school only needs a lick of paint, new educational supplies and playground equipment.
Serai Kindergarten
Project Type: Medium renovation
Percentage Complete: 10%
Remaining Costs: $8,100 USD
About
Serai 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.
Kerta Yasa Kindergarten
Project Type: Medium renovation
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $7,100 USD
About
Kerta Yasa Kindergarten has a dedicated community committed to educating it’s 29 students. However, the building is getting worn and needs some repairs such as ceiling fixes and new doors. Most villagers work as laborers or famers, meaning there is not much budget to improve the school. Most importantly, the school has very little in the way of educational supplies. What they have is old and broken. Almost everything is old and worn, including the playground. The school was established in 2009 and uses it’s original supplies. There are 3 teachers who run class from 7.30am – 10.00am, Monday – Thursday.
Penuktukan Kindergarten
Project Type: Large renovation
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $28,000 USD
About
From a distance you could be forgiven for thinking this school looks ok. However, get close and you’ll see it is close to collapse. Almost all windows have been destroyed by termites. The ceiling is caving in and the school is a clear danger. The building is in such poor condition (and built with such poor materials) that much of it cannot be salvaged for a renovation. We plan to knock this building down, recover what we can and create a wonderful new large kindergarten and preschool. It is a large project that will have a lasting impact on a large kindergarten and a community that desparately needs support.
Sartika Kindergarten
Project Type: Large renovation
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $20,000 USD
About
Dewi Sartika kindergarten is located in the extraordinarily beautiful part of Bali called Sidemen. It has dedicated teachers who work hard to teach young learners. They even run extra classes for younger pre-k students. However, the building is dark and damp, with no real natural light. It’s a large space that could be so much better. It needs a full renovation, building the walls up higher to make a bright building with a high ceiling, as well as new tiling, roof and of course supplies plus paint. It’s a large project, but one that will revitalise early stage education.
Sukaluwih Kindergarten
Project Type: Large renovation
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $25,000 USD
About
Sukawluwih Kindergarten doesn’t have an actual building – they borrow a store room from the village community centre – the ‘balai banjar’. It’s a tiny room that has meant the school can’t take in many students. Working with the community, we have identified new land upon which we could build a brand new dedicated kindergarten – but we need help to fund it.
Kerta Kumara Kindergarten
Project Type: Large renovation
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $23,000 USD
About
With a large building, but old and broken supplies, KertaKumara could be so much more.The building is strong, but needs some renovations, such as a new ceiling, retiling the roof and of course all of the supplies, murals and playground that make a kindergarten complete. The interior needs knocking through and replastering.
Melati Kindergarten
Project Type: Small Renovation
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $5,000 USD
About
The community at Melati Kindergarten set aside a wonderful building for their young leaners. It’s the only kindergarten in the area, serving five villages. However, it’s not enough. The supplies and lack of quality equipment mean the level of education is still poor. However, with a small renovation, this school can become fantastic.
Honey Kindergarten
Project Type: Medium sized Renovation
Percentage Complete: 0%
Remaining Costs: $14,365 USD
About
Built in 2008, the poor construction materials mean this building has not lasted as long as it should. It needs a partial building renovation. Window frames are crumbling and have been destroyed by termites too. The school needs a new playground and new school supplies. The outdoor play area also requires a renovation as it is not stable and represents a danger to children. As always, the renovation will include an exciting mural on the walls.
