OUR IMPACT

SUMBA BARAT, INDONESIA 

The District of Sumba Barat, in East Nusa Tengara Timur Province of Eastern Indonesia, is implementing Waliku in two sub-districts, across 21 schools in the 2019-2020 Academic Year, reaching over 6000 children. 

The District Education Office and its staff, the schools of Sumba Barat and its Principals, IT Operators, Teachers, Parents and Students themselves are part of Waliku's impact. They are raising their knowledge and attitudes about absenteeism and supporting children's education and well-being.

2018-2019 Academic Year 

Waliku's impact is only growing. In the 2018-19 Academic Year, we measured by its usage and utility in understanding and responding to each child's absenteeism and well-being gaps. Waliku was used by

• 48 Classrooms across 5 schools
• 1210 Students and 48 Teachers

• 100% Teachers on 68% Classroom Days

Waliku helped with absentee follow-up, and understanding absenteeism burden, overall and individually across each school:

• 11% Absenteeism Rate (AR): 13% Boys, 9% Girls
• Estimated 29% students chronically Absent (>10%-20% AR) and 8% Severely Chronically Absent (>20% AR)
• Headache, Cough, Not liking school, Fever, & Injury are the most common known reasons for absence
