For all the boys who join our programs, we motivate them and support them to finish minimum education until High-School, however; thanks to the partnership with local universities, we have been able to provide University education to some of our boys. Our hope is that we can provide higher education to more.

Everyone desires to become a little bit better today than they were yesterday, but to do so is a hard thing. By coaching our kids we give them the tools to keep improving and reach the goals they set for themselves. Which, more often than not, is — of course — to become a professional football player. However, we give them some alternatives as well.

Whether our boys come from at-risk backgrounds, or have already been in prison — we feel it’s important we give them someone to talk to. A trusted friend when they need him, but also someone who helps to move on.

Before FSI was established, we were already serving in prisons through futsal training. Today, we’ve expanded to basketball and badminton. After every session, we share life experiences, testimonies, and words of encouragement. We believe the focus is not the sport itself, it is simply a platform. Through it, we build connection, spark motivation, and create lasting, step-by-step life transformation.

We provide counseling programs, especially in narcotics prisons. We also visit the homes and families of youth inmates in LPKA, offering support during one of their lowest moments. Having a child in prison deeply impacts families in many ways, and we are there to strengthen, encourage, and walk with them through it.

In Bandung, we train children from the surrounding communities, especially in the Cipedes area, many of whom are part of free education programs at the Center of Hope.

In Bali, our FSI girls futsal team reached the Top 4 alongside Bali United U17 (pro team) and placed 4th at the Bali 7s International Youth Tournament among 17 teams.

We also partner with SMP Pasundan 3 Bandung, training their futsal team while identifying potential talents who may receive scholarships to continue their education to senior high school.

We provide futsal, basketball, and badminton training as a platform to build connection, share life values, and encourage transformation from within.

We collaborate with Maranatha University in Bandung to coach their futsal team and have provided scholarships to selected students with strong potential, supporting them in pursuing higher education and a better future.

The exercises in this section will be implemented in English classes. It is a novel approach to education. Students won’t stick around studying English in the classroom. Instead, kids will climb the tree, play and run about on the playground, tour a house, grow vegetables, bake a cake, and do an environmental study. In order to effectively utilize their tools in class, students must bring their simple tools to apply the lesson. After class, they will contribute a simple but brief report on what they perceive, experience, and engage with. The topics will be regularly selected, based on the student’s original ideas or a collection of our literature. Additionally, these activities will link them to the existing Friday Creative programs we provide.

Providing post-secondary students with a pre-professional education to help them enter the workforce. This phase is critical in preparing their professional abilities for suitable employment. The session includes practical items such as creating a CV, and resume, using MS Office, designing by Canva, presentation, and public speaking. Those exercises will most likely be implemented in the English class.

We provide scholarships to children with strong potential who face financial limitations. Through this support, we hope to transform their future while also easing the financial burden on their families.

We are aware that attending our English and Creative sessions for just two hours will not provide our children with a comprehensive education or foster a positive relationship with their parents. The Parents Connect program connects parents with their children, our pupils, by providing information, knowledge, and practical everyday issues. Last Year we held a session about sex education for kids and parents to foster communication. Now, we are still working through this year’s topics (2023) to find one that suits the best to their needs.

We provide Ceramic Class for Women who joined FSI Women Community. We teach them some basic techniques like hand-building and how to use pottery wheel. The result of each woman’s ceramic will be sold on the market place.

Santi, a former inmate, is now part of our Women’s Program. She discovered her passion for crochet, and we saw its potential to create meaningful impact for her and her family. Today, her handmade crochet products are sold through Aeri Ceramic, our Business for Transformation initiative, and she also leads two crochet classes for other women in the program.

Her journey doesn’t stop with her, it becomes a seed of transformation, empowering others to grow and rebuild their lives.
