Overviewof our work in Southeast Asia
The Southeast Asian region is unique in its diversity, being that each country has its own culture, religion, and political and socio-economic structure. The majority of the populations in the region are Muslim or Buddhist, and religion is closely integrated into each country's cultural and social mores. Our mission is to reach out to all people--including the needy and the underprivileged--with a message of love and hope, to promote the importance of the family unit and childhood training, and to offer opportunities for personal growth and development. We believe that if each person reached out to others in need, it would inevitably help to make the world a better place.

NGO assistance -- Indonesia
| In Jakarta, Indonesia, FCI has been involved in supporting and encouraging the work of Himmata, a local NGO run by Mr. and Mrs. Siswandi. From its humble beginnings in one of the poorest slums in Jakarta, the program has grown tremendously--from living with up to 50 street kids in their own small shack, to their present day lovely and spacious house that the children can call home.
