Give An Education To A Trash Picker's Child

Rizal  has finally earned his Bachelor’s degree in Financial Management.

This achievement is not only about graduation—it is a story of perseverance, hope, and dreams that have been nurtured since childhood. ‘“My motivation has always been to become better and achieve a higher education than my parents—that is what kept me moving forward.”.- Rizal said.

From kindergarten through university, Rizal received continuous educational support from XSProject. His path was not always easy. Challenges came one after another. His father never had a steady job, and his mother has often been unwell. Despite these hardships, his family never gave up on his education. With unwavering determination, hard work, and the prayers of his family—together with the generous support of donors—Rizal kept moving forward without giving up.

Today, Rizal has proven that limitations do not define one’s future. He is not only a graduate, but also a source of new hope for his family and an inspiration to many other children. His journey shows that a brighter future can be achieved through education.

“Education is important because it has taught me about living a better life, building good character, and strengthening my mindset. I know many people don’t have the chance to receive a good education, so I am truly grateful that I did.” Rizal added

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to all donors who have been part of Rizal's journey. Your support has opened doors of opportunity, ignited hope, and helped create a brighter future.

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.
