Give An Education To A Trash Picker's Child

Education: Building Strong Foundations

The XSProject Kindergarten Program is now in its fifth year. It provides early education for children from families supported by XSProject. Through fun and caring learning activities, children develop basic skills such as reading, writing, and counting, as well as discipline, confidence, and social skills. This program prepares them both academically and emotionally for elementary school. We believe every child deserves an equal start in education, regardless of economic background.

This year, XSProject also proudly celebrated the graduation of Dodo from Ahmad Dahlan Institute of Technology and Business in Jakarta. He completed his degree in Visual Communication Design. His achievement shows that with commitment, family support, and donor assistance, children from marginalized backgrounds can reach higher education and build a better future.

Health: Supporting Learning through Well-Being

XSProject regularly provides vitamins and deworming medication to all children under its care, from kindergarten to university level. This program helps improve immunity, prevent illness, and support children’s focus in learning. Activities are conducted with the support of healthcare professionals.

XSProject also organizes regular dental check-ups to prevent oral health problems that may affect children’s comfort and confidence at school. Children receive dental examinations and education on proper hygiene and healthy eating habits.

Community: Supporting Families

Through the XSCommunity program, XSProject provides free health check-ups for parents, including blood pressure, blood sugar, and cholesterol screenings. Most parents have limited access to healthcare due to unstable incomes. These services help parents better understand their health and support a healthier family environment.

In addition, XSProject held an information session for parents on the importance of children’s dental health. Medical professionals shared practical advice, and parents were encouraged to ask questions and share experiences, strengthening their role in supporting their children’s well-being.

 XSProject sincerely thanks the GlobalGiving Community for your continued support in 2025. Your generosity helps children and families grow healthier, more confident, and better prepared for the future.

The 2025–2026 school year began last July, and the children have now settled into their routines and are excited to be back in school.

August is Indonesia’s Independence Month — a time the children always look forward to. It’s a moment of joy, where they come together to play traditional games and celebrate with laughter and friendship.

‘We hope this event helps the children connect with one another, build their confidence, and strengthen their teamwork,”

For XSProject, the August 17th celebration is more than just a commemoration of independence. It reminds us of the ongoing struggle, the hope, and the real changes still needed for communities that have long been marginalized.
It’s a celebration of the belief that everyone — no matter their background — deserves freedom and the opportunity to shape a better future.

We are deeply grateful to all our donors whose support made this celebration possible. May the spirit of independence continue to inspire every small step we take toward a brighter tomorrow.

Meanwhile, some of our university students have begun their fieldwork as part of their final projects before graduation. Out of 13 students currently enrolled, two will graduate this year, and four are entering their final year and will graduate next year.

At the kindergarten level, our youngest children are learning through a year-long plant care program. They plant seeds, water them, and eventually harvest the vegetables — learning how to care for living things while also growing healthy food to enjoy.

Thank you again to donors for your continuous support.
