Omah Sinau

Omah Sinau (Javanese for “House of Learning”) is a social enterprise dedicated to empowering Indonesia's "anak kolong jembatan," a unique demographic of children who live under toll road bridges and are often undocumented. We run weekly sessions at orphanages across Indonesia, teaching monetizable product engineering skills to foster self-sufficiency. From making banana chips to more technical products, the children learn how to generate income for their livelihoods. What makes Omah Sinau unique is our dual focus: we teach English alongside these skills, incorporating vocabulary and conversational practice into everyday activities.
