Roshan

Established in 2014, Roshan Learning Center provides refugees in Jakarta with a safe learning space where they can thrive in a supportive community and pursue a brighter future through education.

Roshan meets a critical gap as nearly 14,000 refugees in Indonesia wait indefinitely for resettlement in another country, without access to formal education in Indonesia, due to documentation and legal barriers.
