When parents find themselves contemplating sending their children to an orphanage, it is essential to consider family empowerment as a solution. Instead of separation, providing support and resources to parents can enable them to overcome challenges and create a nurturing environment for their children. Empowering families through access to education, healthcare, vocational training, and financial assistance equips them with the tools necessary to address their unique circumstances. Collaborative efforts between government agencies, community organizations, and social services can offer guidance and assistance, strengthening family bonds and promoting self-sufficiency. By investing in family empowerment, we can help parents overcome difficulties, ensure children's well-being, and foster a society that values and supports families as the cornerstone of a thriving community.

The Stop Orphanages Campaign is an initiative spearheaded by Westerlaken Foundation and Yayasan Bali Bersih. Its primary objective is to combat the exploitation of children and the use of orphanages as a means of personal gain, and children as a marketing tool. While we acknowledge that there are Child Welfare Institutions (LKSA) in Indonesia that genuinely prioritize the well-being of children, extensive research reveals that a majority of orphanages in Bali, Indonesia operate in violation of the National Standard for Child Welfare Institutions (30/HUK/2011). This standard explicitly prohibits the institutionalization of children based on poverty or limited access to education, as well as emphasizes the importance of empowering families and preventing the recruitment of children into orphanages.
