ANZA (the Australia and New Zealand Association) supports disadvantaged people in many areas of the community through the activities of its Social Welfare Committee. Social Welfare remains one of ANZA’s core activities, supporting vulnerable Indonesians through sponsorship programs, fundraising events, volunteer involvement, and direct community assistance. ANZA currently supports a range of ongoing projects and sponsorship initiatives throughout Jakarta and surrounding areas.

- People with disabilities through institutions and specialized care programs.

Opportunities for Private Sponsorship
ANZA offers opportunities for individuals, families, groups, and companies to become directly involved in helping disadvantaged Indonesians through sponsorship programs.
ANZA Student Sponsorship Program
The ANZA Student Sponsorship Program helps children and young adults from financially disadvantaged families continue their education. Through sponsorship, students are able to remain in school and pursue opportunities that may otherwise be beyond their reach.
The program has been operating for many years and continues to be one of ANZA’s most significant social welfare initiatives.

ANZA Medical Sponsorship Program
ANZA also facilitates medical sponsorships for children from families who cannot afford essential surgery and medical treatment.
The program has supported children requiring corrective surgery for craniofacial conditions such as cleft lips and cleft palates, as well as other serious medical conditions. Through the generosity of sponsors, many children have received life-changing treatment that would otherwise be unavailable to them.
