About us
The Indonesian/French charity association, PER (Pour les Enfants de la Rue – For the Street Children), was created in 2000 by three Indonesians, under the guidance of the then French Ambassador’s wife. Moved by the plight of the increasing number of street children in Jakarta, the association was established in order to work with centers helping children from disadvantaged families. Today it is still managed by French and Indonesian volunteers and from others countries.
PER is a non-denominational association that respects all religions or beliefs. For this reason, PER supports worthy centres and students, regardless of their religion, ethnicity or gender.
PER is registered with Jakarta’s BKKKS (Badan Koordinasi Kegiatan Kesejahteraan Sosial), which falls under the authority of the Department of Social Services.
Mission
PER operates under the guiding principle that every child and youth, girl and boy, has the fundamental and universal right to protection, care, education, food and development.
Pour les Enfants de la Rue, the French/Indonesian charity association founded in 2000, is managed in 2019 by a team of 30 active volunteers and 53 members, supported occasionally in its fundraising activities by additional volunteers. As it a voluntary association, PER incurs little to no administrative costs.
Organisation Board
PER is managed by an Executive Board and Orientation Committee. The current Board of Directors and the Advisory Council were elected in March 2020.
