February Month of Giving Campaign: Meals for our Students
Akademi Kristus programs require a lot of our energy from the children and young people who attend our classes. Many of our participants’ families are living in extreme poverty surviving on less than US$2 per day, leaving little to no money for meals. Providing our students with well-balanced meals is critical to ensuring they can learn, play and train. For $20 per week we provide meals to the children living in the slum areas when they attend classes at the AK Sanur Hub. We hope to be able to increase the frequency of the meals and also provide food packs to the families to ensure they have nourishing meals throughout the week. If you would like to make a one off donation or sponsor regular meals click on the link below.

February Month of Giving Campaign: Ni Luh’s story
This is Ni Luh, she is having an amazing time in this photo thanks to the AK staff and volunteers who took her and a bunch of her friends swimming! Ni Luh has an undiagnosed cerebral palsy- type condition. She cannot walk and is unable to communicate verbally. For a long time Ni Luh was not engaged in meaningful activity and would spend her days lying on the floor not talking to anyone. But since Akademi Kristus started delivering disability education classes in the slum area near her house she has become much more engaged. Ni Luh looks forward to the education classes each week and lights up when the teachers arrive. Ni Luh’s father has had a stroke and is paralysed down the left side of his body. As her mother needs to work to support the family, Ni Luh and her father are often left alone in the house. Due to his stroke Ni Luh’s father is unable to provide her with personal care, including assistance toileting, as such her living conditions are challenging and she really values the time our disability educators spend with her. Ni Luh is very proud to be receiving education.
If you would like to support the specialist disability education that Akademi Kristus provides we invite you to become a monthly donor. For $40 per month you can support children like Ni Luh to receive life changing education.

February Month of Giving Campaign: art classes
Art and creativity is a core element of children’s development. It allows them to explore, create and express themselves. Akademi Kristus delivers creative arts classes to the children from the slum and local area. Our arts classes are invaluable to the participants who come from impoverished background and have no other access to arts and craft. Just $20 per month purchases arts and craft materials that enable us to provide these beautiful opportunities for self-expression and creative fun. If you would like to make a one off donation or sponsor regular arts classes click on the donate link below.
