EMPOWERMENT KITS DISTRIBUTION

The family empowerment program focuses on helping families to live financially independently. In that way, their children do not need to be placed in child welfare institutions (LKSA) for economic and poverty reasons. Through this program, we have successfully empowered 15 families and it is still possible to add new families over time.


From March to April 2023, Westerlaken foundation / Yayasan Bali Bersih already distributed empowerment kits to families. We distributed business equipment, including sewing machines and cooking tools. We also gave other support such as baby gear, school fees payment, bags and shoes.

Through this program, we support them to live independently and improve their quality of life.

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.
