Who we are?

WCF was founded in 2013 by an Indonesian social activist named Gemma Sasmita and

Joseph Ghairat ( Afghanistan ) with the aim to help countries overcome the problems in

children such as malnutrition, education and sports issues, we are currently focused in the

area of Indonesia. WCF is the driving force that helps build a world where the rights of every

child are realized. We have the global authority to influence decision-makers, and the variety

of partners at grassroots level to turn the most innovative ideas into reality. That makes us

unique among world Non-profit organizations, and unique among those working with the

young.

We believe that nurturing and caring for children are the cornerstones of human progress.

WCF was created with this purpose in mind – to work with others to overcome the obstacles

that poverty, violence, disease and discrimination place in a child’s path. We believe that

we can, together, advance the cause of humanity. We advocate for measures to give

children the best start in life, because proper care at the youngest age forms the strongest

foundation for a person’s future.

NARROWING THE GAP FOR INDONESIA’S CHILDREN

In a large and diverse country like Indonesia which is

fast emerging as one of the strongest economies,

children and young people play a key role in future

development. Of Indonesia’s population of some 250

million people, around 84 million – or one third - are

children under the age of 18.4 With a fertility rate of 2.65

and a life expectancy at birth of 69 years for men and 73

years for women6, the country will continue to have a

rapidly expanding child and youth population.

While focusing on economic growth, national policies

need to pay equal attention to fulfilling the rights of

citizens and to ensuring social justice.The unfinished

agenda of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs)

requires national governments and development

partners to bridge inequities and make significant

improvements in the lives and welfare of women and

children. Moving into Post 2015, the UN’s Sustainable

Development Goals (SDGs) put larger emphasis on

countries to address inclusive growth, human rights and

sustainable development. In order to produce results on

the MDGs, outcomes must be equitable across the

population, benefitting all children. However, in

Indonesia, overall progress at national level often masks

huge disparities. Too many children still remain

unreached.

Children in the poorest households are

more than three times as likely to die during

their first five years of life when compared

to children from the wealthiest households.

Data on sanitation reveals that while 0% of

the richest quintile practice open

defecation, amongst the poorest quintile

this figure is as high as 61%

Despite progress since 1990, there is still

an unacceptably high number of women

dying in child birth. The result of the 2012

IDHS (359/100,000) is substantially higher

than the modelled global estimates and

higher than the 2007 IDHS estimates.

Indicators on education show that among

the age group of 13 to 15 year olds, children

from the poorest households are 4 times

more likely to be out-of-school than children

from the richest families.

In Indonesia, around 25 per cent of girls are

married before their 18th birthday; one of

the highest rates in the East Asia and

Pacific region.

All Indonesia's children have the right to

health, quality education, dignity and the

opportunity to fulfill their potential.

Investments in Indonesia's children are

investments in Indonesia's future. To

ensure that the unfinished agenda of the

MDGs can be achieved with equity, WCF

commitment to support the Government

of Indonesia and other partners in

identifying those children who are

excluded from progress, thus protecting

and advancing the rights of all children in

Indonesia.

What we do?

WCF has made efforts to help the children to get a good life, health and a better future.

FOCUS AREA

Proper nutrition is a powerful good: people who are well nourished are more likely to be healthy, productive and able to learn. Good nutrition benefits families, their communities and the world as a whole. For that reason we move together to raise funds and provide food for children who hunger and malnutrition by organizing a charity events.

NUTRITION

WCF’s work with sport is grounded in its mission to ensure that every child has the right to play and sport in a safe and healthy environment – a right founded in Article 31 of the Convention on the Rights of the Child and other international treaties. We work closely with several sports organizations and athlete to support children so that they gain new experiences and best guidance in sports

SPORT

EDUCATION Access to education has improved in the past decade for millions of children. But far too many of the world’s most disadvantaged children remain excluded from school, and many of the children in school do not learn the basic skills they need to lead productive lives. Education systems in Indonesia must do more than increase resources to engage the children excluded because of location, gender, disability, ethnic origin, violence or natural disaster. Addressing these challenges requires more than business as usual.

Where we work?

This time we continue to widen the range to be able to help abandoned children and

orphans at some point in Afghanistan ( kabul ) and Indonesia (Jakarta, central java and

merauke ( semangga and okaba) . Which is still widely seen children starving, dropout,

malnutrition and some other children's issues.

Water, Sanitation & Hygiene (WASH): Afghanistan’s semi-arid climate leads to rapid evaporation of surface water, meaning urban and rural communities must rely heavily on groundwater that is hard to access and transport. WASH activities address the lack of clean water, as well as poor hygiene and sanitation practices in the country. On-going projects include:

Building latrines and handwashing facilities for boys and girls in 500 schools annually;

Coordinating emergency drought relief initiatives of water-tankering, distribution of bio-sand filters for household use and disinfecting wells.

We do fundraising and outreach to the community about our social programs, involving

community participation will be easier to reach children in need. We also continue to
