At its shelter in Duren Sawit, East Jakarta, (pictured above) and also at its boarding school campus in Pasir Angin (photo below) Puspita provides a safe and supportive environment for dozens of economically deprived children who would otherwise have little or no chance of receiving an education beyond primary school.
Puspita provides them with the opportunity to go to school, as well as learning vocational and other life skills, in an atmosphere that differs from more traditional learning styles, by actively encouraging analytical thinking and creativity.
Puspita has improved the lives of hundreds of children who have received assistance from the Foundation over the years. Dozens of children, who would otherwise have dropped out after primary school, have successfully graduated from high school, and are today either working in the private sector or else running their own small businesses. Several Puspita alumni are today studying for university degrees in teaching, communications, and graphic design. The photo below shows Puspita alumni, Nia, who volunteers her time to teach younger children while also studying at university to be a maths teacher.
