Welcome to Mighty Eagle Foundation!

Mighty Eagle Foundation is based in Jakarta, Indonesia. We are run by a few young Indonesians who care about the future of this country, the world and humanity. We started off by providing a shelter house for children of scavengers or waste pickers. The shelter provides them with nutritious food, milk and basic education -- a luxury that their parents could never afford to give them.

As our shelter started to grow with more and more children, we are moved to look at problems that some of these children face. One of these problems were health-related, lack of job opportunities and also children victimized by pedophiles. We learned that 3rd world countries are often a target of an organized crime that sends pedophiles from 1st world countries to have sex with children who live in poverty. A program to address children who are victims of pedophile tourism is being set up.

Mighty Eagle Foundation moves to help suffering children raise up and take their places in this world in the future as physically, mentally and spiritually healthy, functional, and complete human beings who are bold and strong enough to do the same with the next generations after them. For now we are moving in Indonesia but our future vision is to help children in other countries too, as we grow stronger in finances, human resources and others.

Thank you for visiting our website. We hope your stay here will move you to reach out and get involved in saving the future of the lost generation.

Warm Regards,

The Story of Susi’s Family

PDF

Wednesday, 12 November 2008 04:57
Susi’s mother was the second wife of a construction builder. The husband left the family about a year ago. With the high unemployment rate, no social security and no free childcare facilities in Indonesia, the mother had no choice but to take both of her children, Eko (8 yo) and Susi (3 yo) to a land contracted by a leader of the scavengers. They have been living there on this land ever since. She lives in a house of only 4 sqm with walls made of thin and cheap pressed wood, a roof made of corrugated iron and floors of soil covered by plastic. Here the mother “works” as a scavenger, collecting stuff made of plastic, wood and paper from people’s garbage and deposit them to the leader who then will sell it to recycle companies. The leader then pays the mother a sum of money according to how much she collects. Her income ranges from US$3-6/ week. Susy is now 3 years old but weighs only as much as an average 1-year-old Indonesian child. When her mother works she hardly eats. Her neighbors that take care of her in the land is just as poor as her. Even if she has some food, she does not get enough nutrition as a child should get. Her brother Eko goes to a free public school. Unfortunately, free schools are not exactly the best place to learn anything in Indonesia. After school he goes and helps his mother collecting stuff from people’s garbage. If he does not go to work, Eko goes to the shelter house for some nutritious food and better education.
