Ever since we rolled in the SmartKid Program, we�ve had high hope that this program would benefit greatly to its current attendees like Alwan, Sugeng, Tina, Doni, Suhirman, Rahman, Nurdin, Ibrahim, Suryadi, and a new attendee for this academic year, Sandy. All of them go to Sekolah Nusa Alam, an international school in Lombok. The school combines national and international curricula delivered by local and foreign educators.

It�s been more than one year since the implementation of the program and we have seen promising progress from the children, both from educational point of view and cognitive and social point of view. They learn more compared to other children who go to village schools, their English is improving, and in general, they are more active and confident to socialize with people from different backgrounds, thanks to the multicultural environment of the international school.

This success has inspired us to build our own international schools for primary and secondary education, so that all children in Peduli Anak have access to high standard education. (Read the article about our plan to build international-standard schools here)

The SmartKid program wouldn�t be possible without the generous support from our current sponsors:
