About the program

A Shared Journey Through Collaboration

Sahabat Kejora, meaning "Friends of Kejora," is an initiative by Yayasan Kejora Karimunjawa that connects and supports early childhood education institutions across Karimunjawa.

The program was created to strengthen relationships between schools, encourage collaboration, share knowledge and improve educational quality throughout the islands. Rather than focusing only on SPS Kejora Preschool, the initiative strengthens the entire early childhood education ecosystem in Karimunjawa.

Partner schools can apply for educational support worth up to IDR 5,000,000 (approximately €257), based on their own needs.
