When parents consider placing their children in orphanages, it’s crucial to explore family empowerment as a solution. Instead of separating children from their families, providing parents with support and resources can help them overcome challenges and create a safe, nurturing environment at home.

Access to education, healthcare, vocational training, and financial assistance equips families with the tools they need to meet their unique circumstances. Collaborative efforts between government agencies, community organizations, and social services can offer guidance and practical support, strengthen family bonds, and promote self-sufficiency.

By investing in family empowerment, parents can overcome difficulties, ensure their children’s well-being, and build a stronger, more resilient community.

The Stop Orphanages Campaign is an initiative spearheaded by Westerlaken Foundation and Yayasan Westerlaken Alliance Indonesia. Its primary objective is to combat the exploitation of children and the use of orphanages as a means of personal gain, and children as a marketing tool. While we acknowledge that there are Child Welfare Institutions (LKSA) in Indonesia that genuinely prioritize the well-being of children, extensive research reveals that a majority of orphanages in Bali, Indonesia operate in violation of the National Standard for Child Welfare Institutions (30/HUK/2011). This standard explicitly prohibits the institutionalization of children based on poverty or limited access to education, as well as emphasizes the importance of empowering families and preventing the recruitment of children into orphanages.
