Organisation
“Though many children are working and living on the street, there is also a big group underprivileged children still living at home in very poor and unhygiencic circumstances. While working in Lombok I noticed a great need for tailored and effective help for these children. The care of Anak Bangsa is focussed on preventing those vulnerable children from working on the street- now and later!”
(Jill Jurgens, Founder/ Project Coordinator)
