The Source of Life (SOL) program, which provides an essential service for the community, kept its activities going to meet the local demand for drinking water. The Youth sold a total of 6,019 gallons (over 22,000 liters) in 2020, providing a daily supply of safe drinking water to more than 150 homes in the community.
The Cilincing LPC Stars Club was eager to maintain a presence in the community and remained active despite the pandemic. Accompanied by Catalysts and Youth from the program, they set up food distribution and kept in touch with locals.
The Matakita program, focusing on eye health awareness, resumed operations in August 2020. More than 597 people received free eye tests and documentation on the subject. Our partner Essilor actively participated in the relaunch of the MEI with business training sessions and the sale of equipment at low prices.
In 2021, the center begins switching to the Training Development Center pedagogy. Teams will be all women, and the first Little Angels Academy will open its doors, serving the Young women of the program and the community. Finally, local partners will be mobilized to promote the integration of Young people in their own neighborhoods.

"Because I had no activities at home and I hope I will get a decent job after joining LP4Y, so I decided to come to the center in Cilincing Jakarta. My assignments in my department such as every morning I write down the attendance of my team and explain LP4Y if guests come or welcome new youth. After joining LP4Y I feel that there are many things that have changed in myself and my life. For example, before I could not speak English and now I can, and I'm confident to speak in front of many people. I’m also able to manage my work time at home, being more responsible in my work and I can manage myself. My motivation at LP4Y is that I want to be more professional at work and more responsible in my work assignments. The mock interviews I did in LP4Y I felt more confident to do the real interview at work. After graduating from LP4Y I wanted to work in a company to get money and reach my dream to continue my education to an university. ”
SURABAYA
In partnership with Yayasan Kasih Bangsa Surabaya
In 2020, in response to a request from YKBS, a local organization, LP4Y Indonesia set up a Training & Development Center dedicated to supporting Young women living near the port of Surabaya, who rarely go to school and generally marry very young. The Youth live in small, unsanitary houses and are kept busy either helping their parents with fishing activities or carrying out a combination of precarious jobs.
After a few months, the Catalysts moved into a new center and activated an ecosystem of actors who were ready to invest in the development of the project. The arrival of the first Youth was delayed by the pandemic, but the Catalysts kept busy, carrying out various initiatives with partners, such as distributing masks in Surabaya with the Kasih Bangsa Foundation.
The first mission of the Young women who join the center will be to carry out a study in the local community to decide the nature of the Micro Economic Initiatives to be developed by the Youth.
