Mission Statement
Bulir Padi Foundation (Yayasan Bulir Padi or YBP) is a non-profit organization founded in 2002. Our mission is to empower Jakarta's marginalized youths by providing scholarships, work readiness skills and access to employment, so they will get jobs and contribute positively to the welfare of their families and communities.
About This Cause
We need your help to support and motivate underprivileged youths to stay in school as well as empower them with job readiness skills to gain a better future. Jakarta has the highest rate of school dropouts in the nation with as many as 75 thousand youths each year. Bulir Padi Foundation (YBP) adopts a holistic strategy in carrying out programs and activities to help our youth beneficiaries. We provide merit-based scholarships, tutoring classes, certified job readiness skills, digital inclusion, entrepreneurship and links to internships/job opportunities. Our programs serve youths who reside in in four of Jakarta’s marginalized communities at Palmerah, Bidara Cina, Marunda and Kramat Jati. As many as 92% of YBP youth’s parents work as laborers, motorcycle taxi drivers or micro-entrepreneurs with an average household income of up to IDR 2 million (approx. USD 125) a month, which is 60% below Jakarta’s minimum wage level. Many of YBP youths’ parents in Kramat Jati make ends meet as scavengers or wet market garlic/shallot peelers. To date with the support of YBP donors, education partners and volunteers, we have helped over 1,500 marginalized youths. We constantly track our youths' progress and program impact to ensure that programs are run effectively, efficiently and deliver the results needed. Our impact assessment shows a 100% high school graduation rate, whereby 68% gain employment and 21% go on to university. Our beneficiaries’ gender ratio is well balanced at 58% female and 42% male youths. We support the United Nations 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development through our programs and activities, specifically on Quality Education, Gender Equality, Decent Work and Economic Growth, and Partnership for the Goals.
