Learn a little bit about this organization
Kitong Bisa was first established in 2009 as a learning center in Serui, Papua aims to inspire young Indigenous Papuan and Other Indonesian Ethnic Minorities kids to get better education, be successful and get out from below poverty line. Currently, we have 4 learning centers in Fakfak, Jayapura, Serui and Merauke. We teach students with our tailored curriculum in English, to cater behavioural change by attaining soft skills, creative thinking, as well as entrepreneurial acumen. Kitong Bisa has been educating more than 600 kids across Indigenous Papuan and Other Indonesian Ethnic Minorities. Due to that success, Kitong Bisa has been professionally inquired to provide consultancies for youth and various nonprofit organizations to start social initiatives, following the path of Kitong Bisa. Thus, from a small learning center, Kitong Bisa had than evolved into a consulting management for other nonprofits, both national and international institutions. In 2015, the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade of Australia hired KITONG BISA, through their Australia Awards scholarship program, to deliver trainings in 5 Geographic focused province (Aceh, NTT, NTB, Papua and Papua Barat). This training was aimed to enhance the capabilities young people in those areas to start social initiatives to solve social issues in their areas. As the output of this program, 4 more learning centers were formed and have been operating to date.
