We Have A Plan And Want You To Be Part Of It

- We believe in cultural preservation. We are providing options, not mandating choices.

- We believe educated young people can break the cycle of poverty in their families and entire villages.

- We believe all people on the planet are interconnected (Watch "How Wolves Changed Rivers").

- We believe that with hard work and a good education, anything is possible.

- We believe hope has power.  Something better is possible for people willing to work for it and fight for it.

- We believe children can become whatever they dream despite the limitations of their place of birth.

- We believe education empowers and lifts up young people allowing them become their best possible self.

- We believe in Social Learning and the power of Communities of Practice;  working together we can advance our world.

We'd like to introduce you to some of the amazing people in this family...
with your help, Braeburn can offer even more educational scholarships.


Albern is in 2nd grade.
He attends a private elementary school
on a Braeburn sponsorship.
He is learning English at his school and he is thriving.
Santi (Lukman and Suci's oldest sister) is an
incredible working woman and single mom. 
These are her three kids:  Tia, Cayho & Gagas
Like most mothers, no matter where they live around the world, Santi wants educational opportunities for her children.

Cello, 2 yrs old - waiting to go to school too!
These are Lukman and Suci's nieces and nephews:  Sindi, Gagas, Cahyo, Cello.  They are with Ka Santi, Suci, and Yenni (Lukman's sisters) harvesting rice in their rice field.

Lukman and Suci's mom, Gadik, and their father, Akeo, are also working in the rice field during harvest season.

This family will harvest rice twice per year.  Each harvest lasts about 6 months...there are a lot of growing children in this extended family to feed with each harvest.  Living at UN Poverty Level 1 means one bad crop can cause dire circumstances.

Here's How We Carry Out Our Vision

We provide scholarships & educational opportunities.

Braeburn provides scholarships & educational opportunities to disadvantaged students for English language, primary school, secondary school, vocational school, and university.

We teach leadership skills as a path to self-sufficiency.

Braeburn Leadership Academy sponsors International Peer-to-Peer programs, Communities of Practice, and 1:1 Mentoring. These programs expand cross-cultural knowledge, increase intercultural sensitivity, build international relationships and play a key role in breaking the cycle of poverty.

We support research.

Braeburn's programs are based on research-backed methods.  The Global Classroom is a classroom without walls - & educational laboratory - that provides an environment for U.S. and Indonesian students and interns to work with Braeburn staff, mentors and donors.  Here we are discovering and applying the latest methods for weaponizing education as a tool to reduce poverty and improve wellbeing.
Each Braeburn program has a clear objective and measurable results.
