Radical changes in mentality and ideas that are inherent in the opinion, tradition and attitude of the community are needed. Such cultural change does not occur mainly by the elimination of negative aspects, but it is necessary indeed to create a new mentality that is more open and respectful in order to recognize and to defend the rights of every child with disability to be the key role in his/her own life and to get a chance to be fully included in the community.
At present, BHAKTI LUHUR FOUNDATION is to be found on every major islands in Indonesia. There are close to a thousand persons who involve themselves in the efforts to give advocacy to the poor and disabled people to have a decent life by methods that conform with our time, the Indonesian cultures, and Community Based Rehabilitation. Concerned about poverty throughout the world and particularly in Indonesia, BHAKTI LUHUR builds "boarding houses/wisma" (homes), learning centers, vocational training centers, and special schools for disabled children in Indonesia. These projects would be implemented with invaluable supports from the local and central governments in Indonesia.
Inclusive training and education are one of the most important operational focus of Bhakti Luhur's working methods. These trainings and education have not only spiritual and mental characteristics but also technical and special, that would meet the special needs of children with disabilities and the Community Based Rehabilitation of poor and disabled children. These trainings are inspired by the vision of BHAKTI LUHUR that only through an inclusive, permanent and guided educational program disadvantaged children can be empowered. Â
BHAKTI LUHUR FOUNDATION works in cooperation with all organizations and basic communities who are involved in the struggle against disability and handicaps. Based on PANCASILA (the five basic principles of the Republic of Indonesia) BHAKTI LUHUR Foundation is open for and has liaisons with any groups who serve the poor and the disabled.Â
