YCAB is the abbreviation for the organisation’s full name in the
Indonesian language, Yayasan Cinta Anak Bangsa, which translates to “Loving the Nation’s Children Foundation“.
The word “Cinta” means Love. YCAB is about loving the least served children of
a nation.
This Love is translated into providing hope and opportunity to
marginalised youth. We at YCAB believe that inherent in the vision of
youth development, is the idea of economic independence; by empowering
youth to be independent through educational
provisions, economic assistance, and welfare creation for a better and
sustainable future.
YCAB Foundation’s programs comprise of:
- Healthy Lifestyle Promotion (HeLP): the primary prevention
of risky behaviour including drug abuse and HIV/AIDS through education and
the adoption of a positive lifestyle
- House of Learning and Development (HoLD): affordable
education for underprivileged and school dropout youths, providing Basic
Education, Digital Inclusion, and English Literacy courses
- Hands-on Operation for Entrepreneurship/Economic (HOpE):
this program is 2-prong. The first is to empower HoLD graduates to find
jobs and to start micro businesses by providing entrepreneurship training
and seed capital. The second part is to help mothers (of the students) who
run small business to improve their income through micro-loans and micro
capital
We at YCAB would like to formally thank every single person, be it a large corporation, a small business, our thousands of volunteer’s, and to the man in the street, for we know that without YOUR hard work, love and kindness we would not be where we are now.
