Let's build a school together!

Hello!

Ndulu English Program is a volunteer based program run by a group of passionate volunteers in Hiliamaetaniha village, a friendly community of approximately 1,800 people near Lagundri Bay in the south of Nias Island, Indonesia. Its purpose is to give underprivileged children and teens a chance to learn English.

Our goal is to be able to build a school for the kids as at the moment volunteers teach English in a simple open-air building, which is also Aprianto's home in Lagundri Bay.

A brief history of Nias:

Nias experienced a tsunami and a major earthquake in 2004/2005 which destroyed much of the island's infrastructure. Many relief efforts have helped rebuild Nias, but the island is still quite underdeveloped. Starting around 2014, Aprianto tried to run an after-school English program for local village children, all of whom were underprivileged. During these early years, Aprianto would find English-speaking volunteers by approaching tourists on the beach and asking for their help. Until now, he had done everything himself without any outside help or support.

It was in 2015 when some volunteers arrived and came up with the idea to make this project more sustainable. They named it Project English Ndulu, Ndulu (“n’dooloo”) which means “wave” in the local Nias language.

Current Project Growth and Status:

While we continue teaching the local kids at Aprianto's home, the family is building a little school nearby to provide a better service for the kids. This project started in June 2023 and the process is slow as Aprianto can only build when he earns some money through surf classes or little donations.

That's why volunteers we are helping him and his family in the way we can and now we are asking you for a little donation to make his dream happen.

This family is the most generous family ever seen and they just want to allow the local kids to find a better future. Please help with this beautiful project! Any donation will be welcome!
