About us

The Problem

For many children in remote West Timor, the place where they are born still determines whether they can access quality education, nutritious food, and real opportunities.

When fundamental learning needs remain unmet, poverty risks passing from one generation to the next—and children are prevented from reaching their potential.

What we do

To ensure sustainable support, we are prioritizing education as key solution.

We Develop Educational Infrastructure

We develop safe and inspiring learning environments in underserved communities. Our schools bring together education, nutritious meals, creativity, and personal development—giving children a strong foundation for their future.

Our projects

We Provide Education That Creates Lasting Change

We focus on quality over quantity, combining holistic education, nutritious daily meals, and personal support for every child. Our commitment continues throughout their development into adulthood, nurturing knowledge, confidence, values, and practical skills. We empower young people to shape their own futures and become a driving force for lasting change within their communities.

We Multiply the Impact of Education

The EGI Learning System (ELS) turns our educational approach into a structured and adaptable model that can be used beyond our own school. By sharing proven methods, learning resources, and teacher development tools, we aim to help other schools provide effective education—allowing the impact to reach more children, more communities, and future generations.

First school built in one of Indonesia’s most remote regions.

Children’s literacy and numeracy skills have improved significantly in just the first stage.

Over 30 children now receive daily nutritious meals, improving their health and focus.

About us

We are a team of changemakers from around the world, united by a common mission to overcome barriers to education in remote Indonesia and build thriving, self-sufficient communities.
