In Bali, a large part of the population lives below the poverty line. Schools, colleges, high schools and universities are generally located far from villages and are too expensive for families to be able to afford to send their children. Consequently, a large number of children do not attend school.[su_spacer]The education of the younger generation is compromised due to the lack of information of adults who have not, themselves, been educated. Girls, in particular, are penalized as the patriarchal system in Bali tends to prioritize and value boys more. To counteract these disparities and meet the UN MDGs (Millennium Development Goals), Anak has been mobilizing various sponsors, partners, donors since 2003… it also works with local families to raise awareness about the importance of the education of their children.[su_spacer]Reminder of Objectives:
Ensure primary education for all (MDG 2)
Promote equality and empowerment of women by means of educating young women (MDG 3)
Ensure a sustainable human environment with projects and activities around environmental awareness, waste management … (MDG 7)
In addition to the 300 sponsorships and scholarships managed by Anak since its creation, a first home “Dharma Cita” in Singaraja (North Bali) was created in 2013 by the association. Located close to universities, this home can accommodate 27 students (food and board) who can continue their studies in serenity right through to graduation. The vast majority of these students are boys. In 2017, thanks to the children’s sponsorships over a period of 14 years and the awareness work carried out by Anak teams in the villages, there is a growing tendency to rebalance the sexes with a growing number of young women wishing to pursue higher education.[su_spacer]There are 22 young women wishing to pursue their studies and who would need to be housed near their high school or university. The Dharma Cita residence would be ideal, but since the number of places is limited to 27, it will not be possible to accommodate everyone. 49 students, including 24 young women (17 already current students and 7 new ones need to be accommodated before school starts back in July 2017.[su_spacer]For this reason, Anak plans to create a second home “Dharma Cita 2” to accommodate these students, with the expectation that the demand will increase each year. We anticipate that the number of children sponsored through Anak in attendance at Dharma Cita 1 and 2 would be an average of 50 students per year until 2023 and again, with increasing numbers of women. The Dharma Cita 2 residence would therefore be exclusively for young women and Dharma Cita 1 would only be occupied by boys (60% of current occupants).[su_spacer]The aim of this Anak project is to give girls the same opportunities as boys in order to help them overcome these inequalities and the vicious circle of poverty.[su_spacer]Anak also plans to set up entrepreneurial workshops within Dharma Cita 2 to help these young women acquire additional skills and know-how. This will enable the young women, if they so desire or if they do not find work after graduation, to create an activity of production / sale (soaps, sewing, management and recycling of waste …) as a source of revenue.[su_spacer]To build this home Anak has acquired a 400m2 plot for the construction of a 250m2 building: 8 furnished bedrooms with bathroom (3 students per room), a kitchen, a large common room (events, visits, workshops …), purchase of furniture, recruitment of a cook / 24/7 caretaker, on-site coordinator to follow the overall management of the center (management/operations/human factor).[su_spacer]Buying the land was a wise move as real estate and land prices increase significantly every year. Property rental would not make economic or sustainable sense. Dharma Cita 2 will be close to Dharma Cita 1, in order to keep a social link between the young people, the sharing of computers and school equipment if necessary … and facilitate the work of the on-site coordinator, present on a daily basis.
