Our Story
My name is I Ketut De Sujana Mahartana. I am the founder of the non-profit foundation known as Yayasan Widya Sari.
In 2008, I met a young boy named Juliarta who had just finished elementary school. Juliarta was motivated and had a strong desire to continue his education and go on to junior high school. Unfortunately, Juliarta came from a poor fisherman’s family and there was no way for them to afford the school fees (uniform, transportation, materials). I was determined to help Juliarta, but just didn’t know how. I searched relentlessly for information on scholarships and tried to raise funds myself, but had no success, until one day when a friend of mine put me in touch with Gill Rijnenberg of the WINS Project.
There are many more children who suffer from the same financial conditions, some of whose family’s are even poorer than Juliarta’s. Their parents learned about what happened with Juliarta and asked me over and over for help to send their children to school too. I received so many requests for help and the children were so motivated to go to school that I decided to join the WINS Project.
