Breaking Chains: Scholarships for the Children of Illegal Miners

Date Published: 10/25/2023

The remote village of Montong Ajan grapples with profound financial hardship, pushing its resilient community towards illegal gold mining as a desperate means of survival, despite the government's strict ban on such activities in South Lombok, Indonesia. These persistent illegal mining operations have taken a toll on the miners' families and the health of their offspring, who are often exposed to hazardous conditions. It is imperative that we extend our support to these young ones, offering them an alternative path towards a brighter future. By raising funds for scholarships, we can provide these children with educational opportunities that will empower them to break the cycle of illegal mining and engage in more sustainable and fulfilling pursuits, safeguarding not only their own well-being but also the future of their community.
