Shell Companies in Indonesia’s education assistance support the disadvantaged Indonesian children to obtain basic education from elementary (SD) to senior high school (SMU).

 

This program was started in 1998, when bad economic crisis hit Indonesia and a lot of people had to leave their jobs and resulting in loads of children had to drop out from the schools.
