HUMAN RESOURCES EMPOWERING AID PROGRAM

Year 1996 to present.
Empowering less privilege family also has a relation in empowering their children. Since 1996 Damandiri Foundation has participated in providing aid to empower less privilege family’s children through scholarship for Elementary, Junior High School and Senior High Schools levels through GN-OTA institution.

The initiative was taken after finding out how difficult to empower directly these children through their pre prosperous uneducated parents. Since then, Foundation has started learning to empower the less privilege family’s children who are entering work force or those who are studying at university. This effort taken to accelerate the process and to provide opportunity for these self-sufficient children to later empower their family.

Year 2000 to present
Based on the above matter, Damandiri Foundation partners with Supersemar Foundation has taken an effort to stimulate the less privilege family’s children who are in Senior High School both public and private schools to take Public University Entry Exam (UMPTN). The initial program conducted to assist these children was purchasing exam form, providing housing at the exam site and paying for their tuition if they admitted to a public university. However, it recognized that the academic quality of these children were very low therefore the aid target provided each year couldn’t be entirely absorbed. To improve this condition, started in 2002 the aid was upgraded to Aid in Increasing Quality of Education for the less privilege family’s children who were attending Senior High School, Vocational School and Islamic Middle School in West region of Indonesia. Aid in the form of savings called Self Reliance Study Program has been adopted nationally on May 2nd, 2002 to be “national movement in increasing quality of education”.

In continuing, improving and developing the 2002 and 2003 program activities, Damandiri Foundation focuses on Empowering Human Resources, especially the less privilege children and teenagers, particularly girl. The aid consists of Self Reliance Study Fee, Tuition, Savings Awareness Movement, and Thesis Research related to topic on Poverty Eradication and Human Resources Empowerment.
