This partnership would not be possible without the support of individuals and organisations that are supportive of Equal Access International. This support includes organisations providing technical media support, as well as donors in Europe, North America, Asia, and Australia. To these individuals and organisations we express our deepest gratitude. Through this we are able to support indigenous communities in bringing a positive change to their environment.
The Following projects still require Funding for 2018:
Project 1: Inter-cultural Peace Camps
Project Budget: $12,000
Project Description: These camps are inter-faith, inter-cultural, and international, where diversity is celebrated and first steps are taken towards better relations and healthier communities. This ultimately empowers and equips the local community with all the tools they need for multiplying peace and conflict transformation.
Each Peace Camp involves up to 100 young leaders from Muslim, Christian and other religious communities in an interactive environment. This is followed by a joint Service Project together.

Project 2: Pesantren Education
Project Budget: $35,000
Project Description: Pesantren’s are low cost Islamic Boarding Schools located in most villages throughout Indonesia. Traditional Islamic Education in pesantrens trains millions of young people, generally focussing on the memorising of Arabic, resulting often in the neglect of vocational skills, and often receiving an ideology that is anti-Multicultural and anti-tolerant.
This program responds to this need through providing life-skills and education within the pesantren that promotes God’s nature as loving and compassionate, and that God’s desire is for mankind to reflect this. Currently there are over 30 pesantrens that are in partnership with this program.

Project 3: Post-Graduate Student Sponsorship
