The idea for this project started in the garage of one of our founder, who, during the last three years provided soup , rice, fruit, juice and milk to approximatelly 30 of the local children. Bahasa English was also taught once a week to the same children and some adults. Due to the recent economic situation in Jakarta on September 20, 1999, we began serving soup and rice to approximatelly 150 children in village. Additionally, approximatelly 50 children 5 and under and pregnant or breastfeeding mothers receive a cup of milk. This presently provided 3 days a week. KAMPUNG KIDS was legally formed in November 1999.
