Since we set up the Cikapundung river rehabilitation project on 2012, we intensively established a close cooperation with the Cikapundung community who live nearby the river. This project became a sister project withthe one focusing on education issues.

Pasir Sari, Poncol and Bugisan are areas in Pekalongan where children with less opportunities and drop out children are living. This happen because of the very low income of their parents who normally work in the informal sector. A hard living in the city leads people to be hardly struggle for a living. This cause parents in having their children as “money producers” by asking them to go down on the streets to beg money. To solve this problem IIWC decided to have a volunteer house in Pekalongan and place some LMTV (Long and Medium Term Volunteers) who support those children education.

The hygienical situation and the education levels are really low. The work camp volunteers should support the LTV in teaching the children as well as their parents in hygiene issues and on how to raise their living standards. We will make a station learning as we did for the weekend work camp. Furthermore we will make meetings with the parents to inform them about the importance of education, hygiene, etc.

1. Supporting LTV in teaching street children in Pasir Sari, Poncol and Bugisan, long lasting hygienical education for children and parents, motivation drop out children to go to school again.
2. Share experiences on vulnerable groups with IIWC LTVs.

This project was initiated in 2006 in cooperation with NOVIB IDO which is concerned in the prevention of STI and HIV/AIDS in Tegalrejo and Sukosari, the two prostitution areas in Semarang uptown. After this pilot period, this project turns the focus more on education especially highlighting the mental side of the children in the prostitution. This is due to the lack of concern on this issue from all stakeholders in Tegalrejo prostitution area, while IIWC found out that there are big chances for IIWC to address the children issue.

Tegalrejo project at moment is the follow up of workcamps that regularly organized between IIWC and NICE Japan by setting up a shelter. This shelter is used for children to learn their school subjects and to gain soft skills such as handicraft, dance, singing, etc assisted by volunteers. This year we start to set up international group to support this project and make it better in the future.

1. To promote or introduce the shelter among the local youth or students nearby
