Charis Institute Solo
Most cities in Indonesia enjoy the growth of economic development. However, millions of people living in cities are still categorized as low-income. They rely on less than $60 per month and have little to no access to health care or adequate education.
17 years ago, Charis Institute Solo was founded as a solution to provide affordable, high quality Christian education. The school allocated 60% of its spots for underprivileged children in middle Java.
