Using Education, Community Development and Environmental Awareness to Reduce Poverty
XSProject Foundation is an Indonesian non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of families living in marginalized waste-picker communities around Jakarta. Since 2004, the foundation has combined environmental awareness, education, health initiatives, and community development programs to help break the cycle of poverty while promoting responsible waste management.
Originally known for transforming non-recyclable waste into innovative products, XSProject has expanded its mission over the years. Today, the organization focuses on providing educational opportunities, healthcare support, and community development programs for children and families who depend on waste picking for their livelihoods.
Many of Jakarta’s waste pickers live and work in challenging conditions with limited access to education, healthcare, and social services. Through its programs, XSProject helps provide opportunities that can lead to a better future for both children and adults within these communities.
Education Programs
Education is a central focus of XSProject’s work. The foundation provides scholarships, school support, and educational programs for children from waste-picker families. Through these initiatives, children gain access to educational opportunities that can help them build brighter futures and expand their career options beyond waste picking.
Health and Community Support
XSProject operates health and community initiatives that improve living conditions and access to healthcare services. Working with local healthcare providers and community organizations, the foundation supports programs that promote family wellbeing, healthier living environments, and stronger communities.
Environmental Awareness
Environmental education remains an important part of XSProject’s mission. The foundation offers educational tours, workshops, and awareness programs that help schools, companies, and community groups better understand waste reduction, recycling, and sustainable living practices.
Through practical examples and community engagement, XSProject demonstrates how environmental responsibility and poverty reduction can work hand in hand to create lasting positive change.
