Due to life's hardships, rural children must resist their desire to have educational facilities such as bags, shoes, writing books, uniforms, and other suitable equipment. It's not uncommon to see them not wearing shoes when they go to school or old school uniforms; some don't have uniforms and even only use plastic bags as their school bags.
The lack of educational facilities for rural children moved the Tangan Pengharapan Foundation to initiate a program to provide educational facilities to those under the auspices of the Tangan Pengharapan Feeding & Learning Center, which is spread across various parts of Indonesia.
