Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much

ABOUT US
Everyone deserves a qualified and better life. Not only in a family, but also as a part of society which is manifested in fullfiness of the needs of education, health, economy, socio-culture, and so on.
Compassion arising from the injustices and poverty experienced by children and youth in Maluku fosters empathy in our hearts. We are a group of young people in Ambon with several different backgrounds but committed to create a better environment for children and youth to grow and learn. Lack of books, limited access to information, lack of qualified teachers encourage us to be present as part of the agent of change in Maluku.
Pohon Sagoe Maluku has a vision to empower children and youth to grow to be the best version of themselves. In a friendly, family-oriented atmosphere, and focused on people, we highly value our existence as individuals. As we also believe that every child and youth are born with good values that must ultimately be helped to develop, as the first step to create qualified leaders in the future.
The programs of Pohon Sagoe focus on a commitment to create a positive and safe learning environment for both children and youth. So that it helps them to grow and find their potential that is rooted in local wisdom and global worldview.
