Meet the Education Fund

Karsa Education Fund makes strategic investments in the 212 public schools of Sukamaju Regency, so that every child, in every village, gets a public education worth staying for.

Funding innovation since 2004An independent foundation, led by parents, teachers and local business people.

Targeted support

Our programmes answer the biggest challenges and opportunities in Sukamaju's schools, chosen each year with principals and parents.

  • Parent reading circles, school committees that plan together, and village volunteers who run after-school clubs.

  • Coaching for new teachers, subject networks across villages, and the Teacher Innovation Grants.

  • Science kits, robotics clubs and connectivity that the regular school budget cannot stretch to.

  • Classroom projects proposed by teachers and funded by the community, from river studies to school newspapers.

  • Exam preparation, uniforms and transport for students who would otherwise leave school early.

Our work reaches more than 48,000 students and 3,900 teachers across 212 public schools, from the rice terraces of the north to the fishing villages of the south coast.

    Concept demo

    Karsa is a fictional foundation.

    TIKUMA built this website to show how a school foundation can turn goodwill into specific gifts: a filterable list of teachers' classroom projects, a gift builder that splits a donation across funds, live impact numbers and a Teacher of the Year nomination form. Payments, search and news are not active.
