Bamboo School

Street kids want schooling, but cant go, so for 10 years, YKPA giving informal elementary classes where the kids live. A new bamboo school room HAS JUST OPENED in Kuta slum-like area.

These children consistently ask for this informal schooling because their lives are too chaotic for normal schooling. Todate, several girls have successfully passed the government elementary equivalency testing a massive accomplishment for a child who must still beg in the street. This 'helping' has become a Project, requiring donations for a teacher, rent, and other simple administration costs. Thankfully, donors contribute to making this keep going.

Our Vision

To build a lasting and inclusive educational environment where Bali’s street children particularly those in Kuta can experience safety, dignity, and hope through learning. We envision a future where every child, regardless of their background or living conditions, has the opportunity to learn, grow, and break free from the cycle of poverty. This vision includes providing access not just to basic education, but to a community that nurtures their potential, values their presence, and equips them for a brighter tomorrow.

Our Mission

Our mission is to give disadvantaged children in Bali the loving care, education, and skills they need to grow into confident, capable individuals. Through consistent and safe learning spaces, we support children whose lives are too unstable for formal schooling. We help them pursue government equivalency education such as Paket A, B, or C so they can achieve official recognition for their learning, even while facing the daily realities of street life.
