The Environmental School in Raja Ampat
At Child Aid Papua we believe that every child has the right to education and healthcare, regardless of who they are, where they are, or how much money their family has. We are committed to providing children living in the remote provinces of West Papua the opportunity to improve their knowledge of the world around them and to gain skills for lifelong learning.
Child Aid Papua is a non-profit, public benefit organisation based in Switzerland, working exclusively in Raja Ampat, Indonesia.

To provide a greater opportunity for learning and knowledge acquisition, enabling children to consider a wider variety of perspectives and apply critical thinking to the world and environment around them

To design and implement long term environmental awareness and protection by implementing projects and learning activities with children and providing capacity building opportunities in local communities
-
To develop and implement health programs that have a positive impact upon the quality of life and future health of children and adolescents in local communities
