Our Unique Approach

Grounded in the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) principles, Our Goals go beyond just building schools. We construct learning spaces using recycled plastic blocks with our local partners in Indonesia. We recruit passionate English teachers to give underserved preschool children quality early education.

We also help our corporate clients implement sustainability initiatives that deliver real outcomes. This blend of CSR relationships and hands-on community development creates systemic change. A unique “Engage-Inspire-Thrive” culture is at the heart of our mission to mitigate climate change and drive social transformation.

Our CSR consulting model reimagines business impact.

Why Lombok?

In collaboration with our local partners, Our Goals selected North Lombok for our education projects because it was the hardest hit by the 2018 earthquake. This was confirmed by a major survey of the area’s schools. Even though things are improving, getting to schools there is still challenging, especially during the frequent torrential rain.

Teachers often have to work at more than one school in different villages, usually traveling by motorcycle. Our goal is to make things easier for them so they can shorten their travel time and concentrate on teaching.

How Our Goals Make a Difference

Our Goals is committed to supporting the UN Sustainable Development Goals through our work empowering communities in Indonesia.

No Poverty

Our Goals’ projects help eliminate poverty, and offer solutions for creating greater economic opportunity.

Our programs provide educational opportunities for disadvantaged students.

By cultivating empathy and awareness around poverty from a young age, Our Goals advance SDG 1. We believe quality education is critical in empowering communities and promoting shared prosperity. Our students are inspired to be future leaders in the fight against poverty.

Good Health and Well-being

Promoting health and wellness is vital to Our Goals’ mission.

Our curriculum incorporates sustainability and disease prevention lessons. We teach students lifelong habits such as hygiene for a fit body and mind. Hand washing stations in our schools reinforce the importance of cleanliness and prevent illness among students.

Our schools promote the importance of health from a young age, in alignment with SDG 3.

Quality Education

Expanding access to early childhood education is central to Our Goals’ mission. We develop programs to provide quality learning and English language education for underserved children in Indonesian rural communities.

We’re committed to leaving no child behind on the path to literacy, skills development and future success.

Our approach aligns with SDG 5 through hands-on efforts to eliminate discrimination, empower women, and achieve equality of opportunity, starting with access to quality early childhood education regardless of gender.

Gender Equality

Many Indonesian women face limited career options due to cultural norms or lack of education. Teaching expands prospects by empowering women with meaningful work.

As teachers at Our Goals’ schools, Indonesian women gain financial independence, serve as role models, and inspire change in their communities.

Our approach aligns with SDG 5 through empowering women and achieving equality of opportunity, starting with access to quality early education for girls.

Clean Water and Sanitation

Our Goals installs dedicated handwashing facilities with soap at all our schools in Indonesia. This promotes proper handwashing hygiene among students and teachers.

Frequent handwashing with soap helps prevent the spread of infectious diseases that can keep children out of school. We teach washing habits, especially before meals. This knowledge becomes engrained from a young age, improving health and well-being.

Our Goals support SDG 6 by facilitating access to safe water and sanitation.

Decent Work and Economic Growth

Our Goals’ CSR programs create new jobs and skill-building opportunities in the communities where we work. When constructing new schools, we hire local workers, pay fair wages and have safe working conditions.

Our approach directly aligns with SDG 8 through job creation and vocational skills training. We empower Indonesian communities with pathways to decent work and income growth.

Industry, Innovate and Infrastructure

Our Goals promote sustainable infrastructure through our school construction projects and environmental initiatives.

We build new preschools using recycled plastic blocks made in Lombok, reducing the carbon footprint of transportation and removing around 4 tons of plastic waste from the environment for every school built.

By engraining sustainability in the infrastructure, we develop a sustainable mindset in students, Our Goals contribute to the ambitions of SDG 9.

Reduced Inequalities

Our mission directly aligns with reducing inequalities in education and opportunity. We expand access to early childhood education for disadvantaged youth by building schools in underserved Indonesian communities.

By targeted efforts to improve education, economic participation, and social inclusion, Our Goals help Indonesian children to succeed. We contribute to SDG 10 by reducing disparities in opportunity from a grassroots level.

Sustainable Cities and Communities

Our Goals promotes sustainable development in Indonesian villages through our school construction.
Our curriculum educates students on sustainable living and respect for the local environment. These lessons promote sustainability from a young age.

By integrating sustainability into new infrastructure and cultivating values in the next generation, Our Goals enable sustainable community growth aligned with SDG11.

Responsible Consumption and Production

Our Goals’ projects support responsible consumption and production through our operations and educational programs.

Our curriculum teaches students about conserving resources, minimising waste, and making ethical environmental choices.

By imparting values of sustainability from a young age, Our Goals fosters a culture of responsible consumption in alignment with SDG12.

Climate Action

Climate change is the defining crisis of our time, and responding to it is central to Our Goals’ mission.

Our curriculum examines climate change and its impacts on communities and ecosystems. We teach students about sustainable practices that mitigate climate risks like tree-planting and education on open burning reduction, a practice that contributes to the deadly haze across Asia.

Our schools help reduce our carbon footprint and identify ways to reduce it.

By cultivating climate consciousness from a young age, Our Goals advance SDG 13.

Partnerships for the Goals

Partnership and collaboration are central to achieving Our Goals’ mission.

We actively partner with many stakeholders including businesses, nonprofits, and community groups.

Our partnerships allow us to leverage expertise and resources from across sectors of society. We collaborate on education, health, environmental sustainability programs and more.

By cultivating a spirit of cooperation, Our Goals advance SDG 17. We believe partnerships create solutions that no one group can achieve alone.
