National Children’s Day: Real Stories of Hope
What does it take for a child to thrive? Love? Education? A safe place to call home? At Peduli Anak Foundation, we believe it’s all of the above—and more. This National Children’s Day, we’re reminded why our mission in West Nusa Tenggara matters more than ever.
Across Indonesia, millions of children still struggle with poverty, abandonment, or a lack of access to basic rights like education and healthcare. In West Nusa Tenggara, where Peduli Anak is based, the challenges are real—but so are the victories. Over the years, we’ve been privileged to witness children rise from incredibly tough beginnings to build meaningful, independent lives.
These are stories of hope. Real stories. And today, we want to share them with you.
A Safe Place to Grow, Learn, and Heal
At Peduli Anak, we provide more than just shelter. We build a home.
Children who come to us are often orphaned, abandoned, or come from unstable family environments. Many have never gone to school. Some have experienced neglect, others emotional trauma. But once they step through our gates, their story begins to change.
Each child is welcomed into a family-like home, complete with foster mothers who care for them daily. They get access to education through our in-house school, medical services at our free clinic, and psychological support. Here, they don’t just survive—they begin to thrive.
Nining’s Journey
Nining’s story is one that continues to inspire us. She came to Peduli Anak as a child in need—without access to education or proper care. But with support from the foundation, she attended school, studied hard, and eventually graduated from university with a degree in English Education.
Today, Nining holds the title of Bachelor of Education and is a proud member of our staff. She now gives back by helping the next generation of children at Peduli Anak—becoming the role model she never had.
“I used to think my life would be stuck in a cycle of hardship,” says Nining. “But Peduli Anak gave me hope, guidance, and the courage to believe in my dreams. Now, I want to do the same for others.”
Stories like Nining’s prove that with love and opportunity, children can turn their lives around. They just need someone to believe in them.
National Children’s Day: Why This Day Matters
National Children’s Day is not just a celebration—it’s a call to action. It’s a reminder that every child, no matter where they come from, deserves equal rights, protection, and a future filled with promise.
In Indonesia, and especially in rural areas like West Nusa Tenggara, many children still fall through the cracks. They lack basic needs—education, healthcare, emotional safety. And while the government continues to push for child welfare, non-profit organizations like Peduli Anak play a vital role in filling the gap.
This National Children’s Day, we stand not just to celebrate—but to continue the fight for child rights.

The Future Starts with Hope
At Peduli Anak, we’ve learned that no child is ever too lost to be found, too broken to be healed, or too small to dream big. Every child we help is a reminder of why we do what we do.
This National Children’s Day, let’s not just say we care—let’s show it.
Together, we can rewrite the stories of hundreds more children. Because every child deserves a future they can believe in.
