Lentera Anak Foundation

What Lentera Anak Foundation does

Lentera Anak Foundation (legally Yayasan Lentera Anak, operating as YLA) is an Indonesian nonprofit foundation headquartered in South Jakarta, established circa 2012-2013 to address child rights violations in Indonesia. The organization operates on a preventive and promotive advocacy model, focusing on protecting children from tobacco industry interference and environmental hazards from cigarette waste. Its programmatic portfolio spans six core areas: (1) Young Health Programme targeting adolescents aged 10-24 on non-communicable disease prevention, mental health, reproductive health, and gender equality; (2) GESID (Generasi Sehat Indonesia), a stunting prevention partnership with Danone Indonesia implemented across 30 schools in 3 cities; (3) the #TolakJadiTarget movement mobilizing 2,700 students across 90 schools in 5 cities; (4) advocacy programs supporting Child-Friendly City (Kabupaten/Kota Layak Anak) implementation with Kemen PPPA and local governments; (5) empowerment and mentoring programs for children and youth; and (6) capacity-building training for teachers and parents.

The foundation's underlying technology stack is conventional for a digital-advocacy nonprofit, comprising a content website (lenteraanak.org), social media channels (Facebook, Twitter, YouTube with documentary videos including 'Solusi Puntung Rokok?' and 'Perokok Pasif'), survey and research tools, and advocacy campaign management workflows. It does not develop proprietary technology products. Revenue is generated entirely through donations and grants from corporate partners (Danone Indonesia, AstraZeneca), international NGOs (AstraZeneca's Young Health Programme), and network partners (Indonesian Tobacco Control Network, LEAD Indonesia, Gerakan Indonesia Bersih). Go-to-market is community-led, engaging children, families, schools, youth organizations, and policymakers through education, empowerment, campaigns, research, and policy advocacy. Over 10 years the organization reports training 106,685 children and youth, 3,207 teachers, and 2,326 parents; reaching 27+ million people via 37 integrated campaigns; and securing 2,500+ media coverages. Notable advocacy outcomes include removal of 150 cigarette billboards near schools, collection of 11,000 letters submitted to the President, and influencing Kemendikbud regulation on smoke-free school areas.

The foundation operates from a single headquarters in Jakarta Selatan (Jl. Jagakarsa 1 No. 2A) with 16 employees. Geographic reach is concentrated in Java, including Jakarta and West Java (Cibinong, Bogor Regency), with program sites in 9 cities. Strategic alliances include co-funding partnerships (Danone Indonesia, AstraZeneca), technical partnerships (Nexus3 Foundation, AZWI), and network memberships (Stop Tobacco Pollution Alliance, Indonesian Tobacco Control Network). Leadership comprises Chairperson Lisda Sundari and Project Officer Bagja Nugraga. The organization has no parent company, no external investors, and is not publicly traded.
