Our Projects

Rotary Club Jakarta Cilandak is committed to providing financial and other assistance to truly disadvantaged people, especially chidren and the elderly. We have three ongoing projects that are ideally suited to corporate social responsibility (CSR) funding and we urge corporations to consider investing in these projects on an ongoing basis.

1  The Rawinala Foundation is a Jakarta based educational and care facility for multi-disabled visually-impaired children. Currently the Centre caters for 60 children who not only rely very much on the generosity of sponsors but also the time and dedication provided by educators and carers. The Centre would like to increase its capacity from 60 to more than 100 children and to do so requires project funds of around $30,000 over the next few years. An inspection of the school is highly recommended to those considering supporting this foundation. Rotary will ensure total transparency and accountability of project funds to meet CSR requirements.

In late 2011 Rotary Club Jakarta Cilandak undertook the financing of washroom renovations at Rawinala, making life just a little bit easier for the children of Rawinala. In conjunction with Rotary Club Ayr Queensland we also funded the overhead canopy covers on the outdoor walkways of Rawinala, making a significant contribution to ensuring children, teachers, carers and staff remain dry.

2  Yayasan Lestari Sayang Anak is a South Jakarta based orphanage for abandoned babies and toddlers.The mission of the owner of the orphanage and her helpers is to provide a home for these precious children where they can receive the love and attention that they deserve. Ingrid van der Mark is a PHD in Social Sciences and is truly committed to the welfare of her charges.Seeing is believing - if you are interested in supporting Ingrid please give her a call on 08179189727 or email her at ingrid5_09@yahoo.com.  That's ingrid5underscore09atyahoodotcom.

3  Indonesia has and will continue to be effected by natural disasters. Rotary Club Jakarta Cilandak will continue to provide funds or materials such as shelter boxes for urgent provision of staples and shelter. Rotary Club Jakarta Cilandak identifies the need to be proactive in being able to provide for  for the needs of displaced and distressed people.  We need to have a reserve of funds for rapid disbursement as needed and at when needed.

 We urge corporate and private donors to lodge donations with us for effective disbursement in the time of need. Transparency is assured. 

For further details of these programs please contact one of the Rotarians listed on the members page.

3      Other Projects

 Rotary Club Jakarta Cilandak has also been involved in other one-off or special purpose projects. We have over the years assisted the Mama Sayang Orphanage and helped to fund a library and computer room in a primary school in Wijaya.

We are currently working with Cheshire House to help finance the acquisition of a specially modified bus, a much needed mode of getting those confined to wheelchairs out and about.

Recently we have donated funds for an urgent operation for a 17 year old boy who has for most of his life been unable to walk. In April 2012 we funded the second operation for Yogi, hopefully putting him on the road to total recovery.

Ingrid van der Walk runs an 'orphanage' for abandoned babies called Yayasan Lestari Sayang Anak (YLSA). We are working with YLSA to find sponsors of this rather extraordinary Yayasan to ensure sustainable funds to enable Ingrid and her carers to provide a home for these precious children.

Rotary Club Jakarta Cilandak will consider all requests for financial and other support provided the following criteria is met:

1     The beneficiaries must be genuinely under-privileged.

2      The beneficiaries must be in South Jakarta and more particularly in or near the Cilandak area.

3      There must be transparency of the disbursed funds.

4      The amount of funding involved must be within the Club's financial capabilities.

If you have a genuine need for funding assistance and believe you meet the conditions outlined above please contact one of the members listed in the members page of this website.

If you are able to commit financial assistance to any of the above worthwhile causes please give us a call. We would love to hear from you.
