customer, we've been working on something new...
New Programs on the Horizon!
We're excited to share that Classroom of Hope, in partnership with Yayasan Happy Hearts Indonesia, is currently exploring the expansion of education programs around our Block Schools. The aim is to provide a more comprehensive educational experience for children in North Lombok. We're in the midst of conducting community consultations, engaging with the communities we serve, identifying existing extra-curricular programs, pinpointing gaps in educational needs, and gathering input on new ideas. Our focus is on fostering community ownership of future programs. Additionally, we're keeping an eye on educational programs across Lombok to avoid duplication and concentrate on expanding existing initiatives if they're a good fit. Program examples may include Plastic Waste Education, English Language Skills, Female Empowerment, and Sports, Recreation, and Wellbeing
We are grateful for the support of The Phillips Foundation, generously funding the initiation of this significant endeavour. In alignment with The Phillips Foundation, we share the belief that every child and young person should have access to holistic education opportunities. Collaboratively, we are dedicated to ensuring that the communities we serve are not only studying in safe, sustainable schools but are also hopeful for their future and empowered to realise their full potential.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting venture!

As an Australian nonprofit fundraising for sustainable education and building in Southeast Asia and beyond, we've always been very conscious of not “bringing in” external priorities, and instead working actively to ensure our initiatives are locally-centered, empowering, sustainable, and genuinely rooted in the needs and desires of the community. That's why we prioritise working with local NGO partners for every project! These partners are “on the ground" and plugged into...
The Block: A Community for Safer Schools and a Cleaner Earth
Join our mission to rebuild earthquake-damaged schools using innovative blocks crafted from recycled plastic waste. By regularly supporting our Block Schools program, you'll play a pivotal role in creating earthquake-resistant schools while removing 1-2 tons of plastic waste from our precious environment with every classroom built. Together, we can provide children with access to quality education and a cleaner, greener planet.
It's a remarkable opportunity to make a lasting impact!
