Empowering Children Through Education
Allocacoc and Ginantri Foundation Joint Press Release

Delft, The Netherlands
20 November 2017

Unemployment rate in Indonesia is around 12 percent for young adults below the age of 30. The reasons for unemployment are mainly due to the fact that children in Indonesia have limited access to education, low family income that obliged them to start hard labour at a very young age, and parental abuse.

Guardians of Petak Village, Bali

Founded in 2007, Ginantri Foundation cares for children between the ages of 6 and 20 by providing them a safe haven complete with education. They seek out children with special needs throughout Bali and lend them a helping hand. For the young adults, vocational training and skill-building equip each child with the necessary tools and connections to pursue their place in society.

“Many in the villages without adequate education go jobless and we really work hard to help them reach employability,” said Ms Komang Merry, founder of Ginantri Foundation.

I Komang Eka Darma, now 25, graduated from Ginantri Foundation and high school in 2011. He continued to be sponsored by Ginantri Foundation to focus on Graphic Design in an arts school in Denpasar. Now, he is a freelance designer of t-shirts, websites, and logos for different businesses.

Allocacoc has partnered with Ginantri Foundation so children from Bali, Indonesia, can receive education that meet present day standards and increase their employment opportunities.

Allocacoc’s commitment to social responsibility stems from the belief that every child has the right to a healthy, secure childhood, and access to quality education. As part of this commitment, Allocacoc has launched a limited edition PowerCube whose design our supporters have voted for.
