In mid 2013 a SEEDS initiative was introduced to assist poor families who could not afford to send their children to university. In this day and age it is becoming obvious that only a school leaving certificate or diploma is not sufficient to ensure good employment for the future. The initiative began with support for three young adults. One of these was a man named Abdur, from a village around 40 minutes outside of Pekanbaru, the capital city of the Riau province of Sumatra. Abdur strongly desired to attend university, but his family did not have the money to support him. The family had some money saved which enabled them to make a partial payment on admissions. Through the SEEDS initiative, we were able to come alongside to assist the family and are now covering his university fees, which are around US$150 every 6 months. Abdur has chosen to study to become a teacher, focusing on religious studies. He hopes to become a teacher of religion in a school. He travels every day to the university from his village which takes around one hour each way.
