OUR IMPACT

west SUMBA, INDONESIA

The District of Sumba Barat, in East Nusa Tengara Timur Province of Eastern Indonesia, is implementing Waliku in two sub-districts since 2018. In the 2020-21 Academic Year, Waliku will be implemented across 34 schools in three sub-districts, reaching over 10,000 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
