Who We Are

Sahabat Pulau is a youth-led, community-based, non-profit organization. Together with local youth, we work to create sustainable action-oriented projects to help addressing some education problems in Indonesia by supporting Indonesian children to their further study. We help and motivate underprivileged children to continue their formal basic education and re-introducing the passion for reading and writing. Our programs enable Indonesian youth to contribute to be a volunteer and serve as the child’s mentor, motivator and supporter.

Sahabat Pulau was established firstly as Indonesian Youth for Education (IYE) in May 2011. We consist of young generation who share common interest in the development of education (especially for children) in Indonesia. We have been operating since January 2012. Now, we already have 12 “Rumah Baca Harapan” in six different provinces, 112 candidates of ‘Kakak Asuh’ and 102 candidates of ‘Adik Asuh’ from all over Indonesia.
