Nurturing young minds. Protecting the ocean. Building the future.
Kids are the future; we are merely stewards of their heritage.
SEA Centre 4 Kids is a community-based education and wellbeing program dedicated to supporting children in Raja Ampat, with a special focus on our neighbouring village, Yenwapnour. The program was created to nurture curiosity, strengthen essential learning skills, and inspire a deep connection to the natural world—especially the ocean that shapes daily life in this remote island region.
We believe that protecting the environment begins with education, care, and opportunity. By supporting children today, we help build resilient communities and a future generation of ocean stewards.
Learning Through Nature
Every Sunday, children take part in environmental education classes at the SEA Centre. Through age-appropriate lessons, games, and storytelling, they learn about coral reefs, marine life, and the importance of protecting their environment.
To bring learning to life, we complement classroom sessions with supervised snorkelling activities. Experiencing coral reefs firsthand helps children develop confidence in the water, curiosity about marine life, and a personal sense of responsibility for ocean conservation.
Supporting Education in the Village
In addition to environmental learning, SEA Centre 4 Kids provides English language lessons directly in the village. English is an essential skill for Indigenous children in Raja Ampat, opening pathways to future employment in the region’s growing tourism and conservation sectors.
There is currently no English teacher in the village, leaving many children without access to this critical skill. SEA Centre 4 Kids helps fill this gap by offering regular, age-appropriate English lessons focused on practical communication, vocabulary, and confidence.
Children receive individual and small-group support in a safe and encouraging environment. These lessons help build confidence, improve communication skills, and create real opportunities for education and employment in the future.
A Holistic Approach
SEA Centre 4 Kids is built on collaboration. We actively involve teachers, parents, and community members, recognising that children thrive when learning is supported both at school and at home.
Beyond lessons, we aim to create safe, welcoming spaces where children can learn with dignity—places that encourage focus, curiosity, and wellbeing. Through ongoing projects, we also work to improve basic school facilities, helping create environments where children feel comfortable, healthy, and motivated to learn.
Why It Matters
Children in remote island communities often face limited access to educational resources and infrastructure. By investing in learning, awareness, and wellbeing, SEA Centre 4 Kids helps unlock potential that might otherwise go unrealised.
Our goal is simple but powerful:
to give children the tools to learn, the confidence to dream, and the knowledge to protect the environment they call home.
Join Us
SEA Centre 4 Kids exists thanks to the support of donors who believe that education and conservation go hand in hand.
