In 2025, Happy Hearts Indonesia took another step forward—reaching 47 schools and creating safer, more inclusive learning spaces for over 5,000 children and 28,000 community members across Indonesia.
Funds raised totaling IDR 34.367.581.819 supported school construction, including 35 schools built with recycled plastic blocks, turning 127.3 tons of plastic waste into safe learning spaces. We also established 2 libraries and provided clean water access to 4 schools.
Beyond infrastructure, we strengthened school sustainability through waste management training in 22 schools and school management training in 37 schools.
Thank you, your support continues to create lasting change in communities across Indonesia.

Expanding access to reading materials remained a key priority in 2025, with 2 new libraries established and over 500 books distributed to support students’ literacy development. These libraries provided children with greater access to age-appropriate and engaging reading materials.
One of our beneficiary schools, SMP Triguna Bhakti in Surabaya, Jawa Timur, illustrates how a library can become a catalyst for change. Since the library was built, the school has seen a steady increase in student visits and book borrowing. To nurture this growing interest, the school runs a monthly literacy program in collaboration with the Surabaya City Public Library (Perpusda).
Furthermore, to ensure sustainability, the school has appointed a dedicated librarian who manages daily operations and enables students to borrow books to read at home. This experience stands as a testament to how school libraries can nurture literacy and create lasting impact within a school community.

Happy Hearts Indonesia believes that access to clean water is fundamental to quality education and community well-being. In East Nusa Tenggara (NTT), 50–60% of the schools we have rebuilt still face limited access to reliable water. To address this challenge, through our Water Access Initiative, we provide sustainable water solutions to schools in underserved areas, where water scarcity continues to disrupt daily life and learning.
Last year, we installed borewells at five schools, significantly improving their access to clean water. These borewells now provide a dependable and continuous water supply, allowing schools to maintain functional toilets and handwashing facilities, improve sanitation practices, and create healthier learning environments. Beyond the school grounds, nearby communities also benefit from easier access to water, reducing their reliance on purchased water and strengthening local resilience.

Our School Management Training reached 37 schools, reaching 74 participants, including school principals and treasurers. Building on previous years, we introduced post-training mentoring to ensure schools could apply what they learned in practice. This ongoing support helps schools to develop effective school development plans, enhancing financial management and accountability, and strengthening stakeholder communication strategies to improve collaboration.
In 2025, we delivered Waste Management Training to 22 schools, following the completion of the trial phase in the previous year. The training introduced waste management practices that can be applied in daily school activities.
Teachers and students learned about waste segregation, composting, and simple gardening through fun, age-appropriate learning methods, and hands-on practice. This approach supports schools in creating cleaner learning environments while helping students build positive habits from an early age.
