Help us grow the BGBJ
Corona virus community support
BGBJ is reliant on donations from our visitors and supporters from around the world. Each week we host up to one hundred children and adults. Currently donations are being used to help support the local community with food and other supplies during the Corona virus crisis.
Since the COVID-19 case, many of the companies that buy material from the waste pickers have shut down and there has been a severe price drop of the materials. These families are now struggling to provide food for themselves.
For more information please see this recent New York Times article.
The BGBJ Team is raising money to support the local families with prepared food packages for those who are in need.
It is worth it to visit our Facebook Page "The Kingdom of BGBJ" to see the latest activities.
The Team has already received a big support from friends, families and sponsor. Thanks to all of them, the community support campaign was able to start up running since the beginning of March 2020 and the BGBJ Team have been able to support some families with food.
The packages include:
- Rice 5kg
- Instant Noodles 10 pks
- Cooking Oil 1 litre
- Chicken Serundeng 1 box
- Salt 250gr
- Eggs 1 box
- Big canned sardines 1
- Tea bags 1 box
- Home made Meal 1 box (catered by "The Kingdom of BGBJ)
One package's estimated value is 330.000 Rupiah = approx 20 Euros. And it can last for one week.
With 20 Euros you are able to feed a family for one week. With 80 Euros for one month.
Every week we will put together as many food packages and cooked meals as we can.
Please share this campaign and support us to help the families through this period of hardship. With your help the food supply won't stop.
Thank you for your support and donations. You can find videos and pictures from this campaign on Facebook and Instagram under "The Kingdom of BGBJ".
You can donate through the button below or via the Gofundme campaign or Kitabisa campaign

Crowdfunding
Launched in December 2016 our first GoFundMe campaign has already raised over our original $5000 target. This allowed us to make huge improvements in the BGBJ site and general business operation. A second GoFundMe campaign dedicated to finishing the classroom and workshop at BGBJ was also a big help.
Our current campaign is raising funds to develop a library/music studio that will significantly increase the amount of people who can attend our services and also provide a better learning environment. In addition, this project will include a rooftop vegetable garden that can provide for our communal mealtimes.
