We are the Anak Terlantar Foundation and our goal is to help orphans and children who have been abandoned or oppressed for other causes. This is what we do in Indonesia. We do our best to ensure that these children are not forgotten. And we support projects that provide housing, development and medical care.
Our foundation works for children from poor families who desperately need medical help. Many of these children suffer from conditions such as elephantiasis or cleft lip, which strongly affect their daily lives. Thanks to our financial support, they can get the operations they need. This is how we help them grow up without shame, participate in school, play and pursue their dreams. With your support, together, we are making a world of difference for these children.
With financial support, we make essential medical treatments and surgeries possible. Surgery can not only improve a child's physical health but also offer new hope for the future. We want children to grow up without shame, to attend school, to play, and to participate fully in everyday life. With your donation, you give a child more than just medical care. You give a child the opportunity to live a healthier, more confident life.
Supporting an orphanage gives children without parents a safe place to grow up. Here, they not only find a roof over their heads, but also the warmth, care and guidance they need. This creates a loving environment where children can play, learn and build a hopeful future. Thanks to your contribution, they get the opportunity to develop into strong, independent young people.

To ensure that every donation is used as effectively as possible, we have adjusted our working method. Previously, we made an annual contribution to our two long-term projects. However, we noticed that donors increasingly wanted to know exactly what their gift was being spent on. We completely understand that. Transparency regarding the use of donations is important to us.
That is why, starting in 2026, we will work exclusively with project applications. From now on, organizations will request support for a specific project, including a budget and a clear description of the goal. In addition, we will regularly request progress reports so that we can see what is being achieved with the support and what impact the donations are having.
The Anak Terlantar website is also being updated. At the moment, it is not yet clearly described how organizations can submit a request for financial support. We believe it is important that this process is clear and accessible to everyone. Therefore, we will be clarifying the information regarding this soon.
During a trip to Indonesia last year, this change was discussed with the boards of our two trusted projects:
We are pleased that both organizations embrace our new working method. We agreed that 2025 would be a transition year and that from 2026 onwards, we will work entirely according to this new approach. With this change, we want to make the use of donations even more transparent and ensure that every contribution is used as effectively as possible. Together, we can continue to make a difference for the people and projects that need our support the most.
The RKZ in Surabaya submitted a project proposal for five children, which we were pleased to approve. Since then, we have been receiving regular reports from missionary sister Floriana about these children we support. Every update shows how much of a difference your support makes. The children are developing well, attending school, and receiving the guidance they need. We are very happy about this. To share these special stories, we will soon be regularly highlighting one of these children (anonymously, of course) on our website. In the meantime, the RKZ has submitted a new project proposal for another nine children.
There is also a challenge. There are currently three children on the waiting list because there are insufficient financial resources to help them immediately. We hope to organize support for them soon as well.
In addition to our existing projects, we are also looking ahead. This year, we submitted a project proposal to the Boeken Steunen Mensen Foundation. This foundation has previously helped us with a contribution for the children in Surabaya. We hope for their support again, this time for the Lombok Lembah Sari project.
We conclude with good news. In June, we were able to receive several donations through our website again. We are very happy about that. Every contribution, large or small, helps us give children in Indonesia new opportunities. On behalf of the entire board: thank you very much for your trust and commitment. Thanks to you, we can truly make a difference. If you have any suggestions on how we can encourage donations in the near future, we would love to hear them.
Help us give a future to as many children as possible. Support us with a one-off donation or a monthly fee.
