Foundation 18 Education Fund 2016

Donation protected
Foundation 18 is a privately funded not-for-profit organisation started by Australian humanitarian and conservationist, Cate Bolt. F18 runs a small group home for abandoned girls in the remote north Bali village of Ringdikit.

Since 2011 Foundation 18 has been providing assistance to children who are still currently living with a family member to attend school, with the goal of ensuring that all children in the village have the opportunity to reach senior high school level.

Prior to our involvement, no girl in the entire history of the village had ever been to school past the age of 13. We are very proud to have created an environment where girls are now as able to attend school as boys.

The Foundation 18 Education Outreach program provides assistance with school tuition, administration and enrollment costs. We also provide assistance with backpacks, school uniforms, school shoes, books and stationery supplies.

For our most disadvantaged children we further provide food, medical assitance and even transport to and from school.

In 2015 we were able to provide assistance to 89 children in the area. This year we would like to make it 100! We have already raised close to $20,000 to pay for school fees and tuition. The money from this campaign is to pay for uniforms, shoes, books and stationery supplies.

Due to a new partnership with local suppliers we are now able to provide these things at an average cost of $45 per child - giving us a fundraising target of $4500.

Our fundraising goal is made up of:
100 children x $45 = $4500
GoFundMe Fees 5% = $225
Card Processing Fees 2.9% = $130.50
International transfer fees 1.9% = $85.50
Grand TOTAL = $4941

Any money raised above the total required will be added to the 2017 education fund.

This is our most ambitious target ever. Whilst we do not discriminate between girls and boys in our Education Outreach programs, we cannot stress enough the dire outcomes for many girls without education in Indonesia.

We have been actively working to save children from falling into prostitution and human trafficking for the past six years and making sure girls are provided with alternative opportunities, via ongoing education, is the key to our success.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for helping us to make a difference in the lives of children!
