The idea for this project started in the garage of one of our founder, who, during the last three years provided soup , rice, fruit, juice and milk to approximatelly 30 of the local children. Bahasa English was also taught once a week to the same children and some adults. Due to the recent economic crisis in Jakarta on September 20, 1999, we began serving soup and rice to approximatelly 150 children in village. Additionally, approximately 50 children 5 and under and pregnant or breastfeeding mothers receive a cup of milk. This presently provided 3 days a week. KAMPUNG KIDS was legally formed in November 1999.
Till now, we have supported 721 students from Elementary School through Senior High School and 35 students already graduated from Senior High School. The 35 students are working as waiter or waitress and are able to help their families economically. They are so proud of the result that they have achieved.
