Upik, mother of Andrean
Pictured above on the left is Upik.
Upik really struggles financially. She has a young son named Andrean who is a student in the elementary school at Yayasan Nurani Insani in Petamburan, Jakarta, Indonesia.
Upik’s husband died when Andrean was just seven months old. Life has been very hard for her—paying the rent and finding money for food for Andrean and herself have been a constant worry for her.
Upik asked if she could have our help to start her own small business. She brought samples of her idea along to school for us to see and try. She would like the capital to cook these sweet doughnuts which are topped with the sugary syrup pictured in the bucket on the left.
All she is waiting for is a Friend to help her with IDR 200,000 (about US$20).
Friends of Nurani Insani have told Upik we will try to find a caring person/family who would like to help her.
We have many people waiting for help—their stories are different but the need is the same—just a small amount of money goes a long way here towards self sufficiency, and, it keeps the kids off the streets.
To date all of our schemes are successful and two have even expanded with a bit of extra help.
