We’ve been working in Indonesia for seven years now, actively addressing the impacts of conflict, displacement and poverty upon children. Our project in West Timor was initially established to respond to the situation caused by the large influx of refugees from Timor Leste in 1999, and more specifically to assist the Government of Indonesia (GOI) in providing quality, relevant and basic education to refugee and local children. The situation is now more stable with the refugees either returning to Timor Leste or becoming permanently settled in West Timor. The quality of education in the 45 project schools has improved through the provision of workshops and support visits with over 14,000 children benefiting as a result.
