Family-Like Care

04 August 2024

Peduli Anak provides family-like care to hundreds of children from challenging and unstable family environments. We strive to foster the bonds and healthy relationships essential for each child to flourish and reach their full potential. Many of these children are unable to remain at home due to abuse and neglect, and some were previously living on the streets before joining us. Our family-like care provides personalized attention, supporting the development, education, and well-being of each child.

Mental Health

Mental health challenges often begin in early childhood and are highly complex. Without supportive relationships and a secure environment, children may lack the foundation needed for growth. Exposure to violence, abuse, and neglect can severely impact a child’s development and long-term well-being. Research from organizations like UNICEF and Save the Children highlights the crucial role of mental health in a child’s future.

Advocacy

Peduli Anak collaborates closely with Child Social Services and other government agencies to ensure that children and young people who have lost parental care, are at risk of losing it, or are facing abuse, exploitation, child marriage, or involvement in juvenile offenses are protected, cared for, rehabilitated and supported. Our commitment is to uphold their rights, ensuring they are recognized and respected, in line with international standards and frameworks.

Family Support

Peduli Anak’s family support programs are focused on creating stable and nurturing environments for children. We believe that every child deserves a sense of belonging and reliable support. Our programs are designed to build strong, trustworthy relationships, ensuring that children feel cared for and supported by those around them.

Medical Aid

Peduli Anak’s free clinics and medical aid programs are vital in providing healthcare to children within our centers and from impoverished families in surrounding communities at no cost. Many Indonesian children lack access to basic healthcare and health insurance due to poverty. Our well-equipped clinic offers free preventative and primary care, ensuring children receive thorough check-ups and comprehensive medical attention upon arrival.

Education

Our primary and middle schools offer free education to hundreds of children living within our child welfare centers and from nearby impoverished communities. Both schools have received the highest accreditation from the Indonesian Ministry of Education, highlighting the excellence and impact of our educational programs. Our dedicated staff ensures that every child receives the quality education they deserve, paving the way for a brighter future.

Child Crisis Support

01 August 2024

At Peduli Anak, we stand as a source of hope for vulnerable children in Indonesia, particularly those without adequate parental care. Leveraging our extensive network of partners and influencers, we launch swift humanitarian programs tailored to the urgent needs of children and their families. Our proactive approach was evident during the devastating Lombok earthquakes in August 2018, where we provided essential aid, including tents, blankets, food, water, medication, and vitamins, to thousands of affected children and families despite the destruction of our own child welfare center in Lombok.
