We work for a future where all of Indonesia's children have the chance to learn to read, and to love reading. We do this by equipping pre-school and early-primary teachers to teach literacy effectively, so that the children they teach learn to read with fluency, understanding and enjoyment. We provide our partners with three things: A field-tested Indonesian-language literacy curriculum that is effective, engaging, and easy to use; High quality, culturally relevant reading books and learning materials designed to support children as they learn to read; Teacher training and mentoring that produces effective teachers of literacy who are able to share a love of reading and learning, and to care for the children they teach.

Rachel House was registered in November 2006 as a charitable organization under the name of Yayasan Rumah Rachel in Indonesia with the purpose of providing palliative care to children from poor and needy families living with life-threatening diseases, such as cancer and HIV. It is the first pediatric palliative care service in Indonesia, providing pain and symptom management for children in the final stages of their illness at free of charge. Without the service, many of these children from poor families would spend their last days in horrific pain without medical assistance. Rachel House was founded in the hope that no child would ever have to die in pain, without love and care. It is built on the principle that "we are not here to add days to the children's lives, but to add life to their remaining days". Its mission is to provide palliative care for children with life-threatening conditions allowing them to live their remaining days with joy and dignity in a non-discriminatory, safe and loving environment. Rachel House's goals are: To advocate and raise awareness of the need for palliative care in Indonesia To assemble and train multi-disciplinary staff in pediatric palliative care To train and develop home care teams to provide support and education to families to allow children with life-threatening conditions to be cared for at home To reinforce local community's capacity to care for children in need through education To partner other organisations that add value to our mission To secure long-term financial sustainability Being the first pediatric palliative care service in Indonesia where palliative care is not taught in medical schools, Rachel House's pioneering team of nurses were trained by palliative care professionals from neighboring countries such as Singapore, Australia and New Zealand. In every training opportunity, Rachel House has ensured the participation of medical professionals (doctors, nurses & pharmacists) from the large government-owned hospitals and public clinics, nursing schools and health volunteers and social workers in the hope of building the capacity in palliative care. A significant outcome of this targeted training has been the establishment of the first pediatric palliative care unit in Indonesia at the Dharmais Cancer Hospital in late 2010. In the 3 years since the first patient was admitted to Rachel House in December 2008, the service has reached more than 150 children in the final stages of cancer and HIV, providing them with pain and symptom management and empowered their caregivers with the essential education.

With regard to TCKN's Montessori school, named Lilliput World, our mission is to nurture the younger generation of pre-school age and stimulate their curiosity as they develop a love of learning and a commitment to values while realising their individual potential with the dynamic support of parents as fellow members of the learning community. The school's motto is Learn, Understand and Grow. Our Aims are: Creating a top quality educational and development environment for all children in Lilliput World with a focus on a values-based learning environment, intellectual and personal development and harmony with the natural world. Walking together with children as their companions as they grow and develop, supporting them to make the most of the gifts they were born with. Providing a nourishing, safe and loving environment in which children may explore, experience, express and deepen their own values and character while learning about and cultivating their sense of identity and the nation's cultural values. Strengthening practical and everyday life skills through routines and classroom activities so as to support the development of each child's independence and self-confidence from an early age. Providing balanced, continuous and appropriate basic stimulation to create a strong foundation for the next level of education. Creating a supportive space in which parents and teachers are partners and companions with each other and students as they are learning and playing so that students receive social and emotional support from parents. With regard to TCKN's adult classes, in particular our Nusantara International Hospitality Courses, our mission is to provide practical and experiential learning opportunities for the benefit of those otherwise challenged to afford them, recognising that education is the key to the realisation of individual potential and the socio-economic development and progress of each community. The rationale for this is that people do not need to be defined, or limited, by their socio-economic background; with drive, talent, determination and a little support they can achieve wonders. Empowering education can help them overcome challenges, remove some of the barriers to progress and prosperity potential and flourish. A major issue that holds back many younger people is the lack of access to the chance to learn skills, acquire knowledge and build capabilities that will enable them to lead productive, meaningful, creative and autonomous lives. TCKN seeks to address this need by offering low-cost learning opportunities, with a focus on practical and vocational knowledge and skills for the growing hospitality and tourism sectors of the economy. The motto for our adult education classes is Learning for a Better Life.

Ashinaga is a Japanese foundation headquartered in Tokyo. We provide financial support and emotional care to young people around the world who have lost either one or both parents. With a history of more than 55 years, our support has enabled more than 110,000 orphaned students to gain access to higher education. From 2001, we expanded our activities internationally, with our first office abroad in Uganda. Since then, we have established new offices in Senegal, the US, Brazil, the UK, and France to support the Ashinaga Africa Initiative. The Ashinaga movement began after President and Founder, Yoshiomi Tamai's mother was hit by a car in 1963, putting her in a coma, and she passed away soon after. Tamai and a group of likeminded individuals went on to found the Association for Traffic Accident Orphans in 1967. Through public advocacy, regular media coverage and the development of a street fundraising system, the association was able to set in motion significant improvements in national traffic regulations, as well as support for students bereaved by car accidents across Japan. Over time, the Ashinaga movement extended its financial and emotional support to students who had lost their parents by other causes, including illness, natural disaster, and suicide. The Ashinaga-san system, which involved anonymous donations began in 1979. This was inspired by the Japanese translation of the 1912 Jean Webster novel Daddy-Long-Legs. In 1993, Ashinaga was expanded to include offering residential facilities to enable financially disadvantaged students to attend universities in the more expensive metropolitan areas. Around this time Ashinaga also expanded its summer programs, or tsudoi, at which Ashinaga students could share their experiences amongst peers who had also lost parents. The 1995 Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake struck the Kobe area with a magnitude of 6.9, taking the lives of over 6,400 people and leaving approximately 650 children without parents. Aided by financial support from both Japan and abroad, Ashinaga established its first ever Rainbow House, a care facility for children to alleviate the resultant trauma. March 11, 2011, a magnitude 9.0 earthquake struck the northeastern coast of Japan, causing a major tsunami, vast damage to the Tohoku region, and nearly 16,000 deaths. Thousands of children lost their parents as a result. Ashinaga responded immediately, establishing a regional office to aid those students who had lost parents in the catastrophe. With the assistance of donors from across the world, Ashinaga provided emergency grants of over $25,000 each to over 2,000 orphaned students, giving them immediate financial stability in the wake of their loss. Ashinaga also built Rainbow Houses in the hard-hit communities of Sendai City, Rikuzentakata, and Ishinomaki, providing ongoing support to heal the trauma inflicted by the disaster. Over the past 55 years Ashinaga has raised over $1 billion (USD) to enable about 110,000 orphaned students to access higher education in Japan.
