Inspiring a Brighter Future

Titian Foundation provides access to better educational opportunities for less fortunate Indonesians through the improvement of their education, knowledge and skills to offer them a brighter future. We are also working to improve the quality of Indonesia’s teachers and setting-up Community Learning Centres to ensure traditional skills are retained and new ones learned. We are a professionally managed, voluntary organization governed by a Board of Trustees on a pro-bono basis and have the support of numerous professional volunteers. We are independently audited by the international accounting firm PwC and are pleased to provide financial statements upon request.

Titian’s Guiding Principles

The way Titian runs its programmes is characterised by care, attention to detail and sustainability.

Titian’s ‘signature’ project management approach emphasises quality over quantity. Titian spends extra time recruiting the right students, community members and teachers, and providing them with the nurturing and support they need to ensure they make the most of the opportunities they are given.

All Scholarship students receive special lessons in life skills as well as counselling throughout their three years. For the Scholarship Programme, Titian has created a Titian alumni for graduates to keep in touch and provide encouragement and mentoring for current students.

Titian follows-up and monitors the operation and results of all its programmes in great detail to ensure donors get the best possible return on their investment.

Despite the intensity of this approach, Titian achieves a cost efficiency ratio of under 15% — significantly below that of our international counterparts.

Titian understands that educating youngsters brings greater wealth in the long term. Communities that are engaged in entrepreneurial ventures are self-sustaining. Budding entrepreneurs employ more people and create greater wealth.

The Key to Everything Titian Does is Sustainability.
