Kairos Project
Background
-
The Kairos Tanah Papua Foundation (YKTP) was established on March 29, 2021, by adopting a school from the OBATRAKYAT Indonesia Foundation (YOI). Since its inception, YKTP has been committed to providing quality and impactful Christian education for generations in Tanah Papua, particularly in Sorong City.

Closing Statement
Having a permanent school building with its own status is an ultimate dream for Papuan children who live around the school location. Having their own school building means they can play while learning in a more spacious and proper classrooms. The school building also signifies hope for a better future for Papuan children and as a means whereby children can know Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, grow in the character of Christ and become agents of change for society, the land of Papua and Indonesia.
Let's join hands to carry out the discipleship mission for Papuan children by providing proper school buildings for them.
