About ChildFund International 

ChildFund International has been implementing child-centered programs since 1973 with an annual budget of USD$ 4 million from sponsorship and independant donor grants. Through community-based, culturally grounded, participatory program approaches, ChildFund International  works with 16 local partners in 32 districts in 8 provinces. In 174 villages where we work, we support 318 ECD exclusive and/or integrated health posts (‘Posyandu’), 87 child-friendly schools and 98 youth forums. Through these community-support mechanisms, ChildFund Indonesia ensures local leadership support and ownership of project activities. 

ChildFund International  works in partnership with community based organizations throughout Indonesia to support children and youth who are Deprived, Excluded and Vulnerable (DEV) so that they can improve their lives and become young adults, parents and leaders who will bring lasting and positive change in their communities. More specifically, ChildFund Indonesia supports these children in their different life stages towards becoming:

·       Healthy and Secured Infants – Lifestage 1 (0 to 5 years old)

·       Educated and Confident Children – Lifestage 2 (6 to 14 years old)

·       Skilled and Involved Youth – Lifestage 3 (15 to 24 years old)

ChildFund International  also works to promote societies whose individuals and institutions participate in valuing, protecting, and advancing the worth and rights of children. For further info please visit www.ChildFund.org.

Adolescent Confident in Thinking, Valued in life and Empowered (ACTIVE PROJECT)

Adolescence is a challenging period for both children and their parents. For this reason, adolescence has been divided by educational and health specialists into three stages - early adolescence (aged 11-13 years), middle adolescence (aged 14-18 years), and late adolescence (aged 19-21 years). These 3 stages are experienced by nearly all teens, even though the age at which each stage is reached varies greatly from child to child.

Early adolescence is a time of tremendous physical and socio-emotional growth. Unfortunately, most early adolescents do not understand the changes affecting them. Socio-emotionally, they tend to struggle with their sense of identity, feel awkward about their bodies and worry intensely about being ‘normal’. There is growing awareness of their parent’s imperfections coupled with a strong indication of the growing influence of their friends at this time. For this project, we selected adolescents aged 12-15 years because their experiences of Deprivation, Exploitation and Vulnerability (DEV) are often overlooked. This is despite findings that suggest this is the age when adolescents make decisions that can have life-long consequences.

 ChildFund Indonesia would now like to build on this experience and implement a social, financial and life skills program so that we can more effectively reach the ultimate goal, whereas children become agent of change. Through the acquisition and application of these social, financial and life skill concepts into their daily lives, it is also expected that adolescents will be able to perform better at school and so become “Educated and Confident” (Life Stage 2). Increased understanding of these concepts will also help adolescents prepare to become “Skilled and Involved” (Life Sage 3) to meet the demands of adulthood and the workplace.

The AFLATOUN social and financial literacy program has been specifically developed for children and young adolescent, age 6 to 15 years old. The Aflatoun program has 5 elements which are: 1) Personal understanding and exploration; 2) Right and responsibilities; 3) Saving and Spending; 4) Planning and budgeting; 5) Social and financial literacy.  However, because our adolescents have never been exposed to a life skills program, we intend to integrate aflatoun element to the aspects of 10 core life skills into this project. These core skills have been identified by UNICEF and WHO as being the most critical to children/adolescents. These skills can be divided into 3 key categories. The first category is critical thinking/decision making skills. This category includes problem solving skills. The second category focuses on the importance of developing inter and intra personal skills and communication. This includes skills to become a more effective communicator, negotiation/refusal skills and issues related to empathy. The third category is self-management skills, which includes skills related to coping with stress and ones emotions. Self-evaluation skills further builds confidence yet at the same time reaffirms these other skills.
