The Davis Project for Peace
FKWI Laundromat
In 2020, I won my very first grant funding from the Davis Project for Peace Foundation.
I received a funding of $10,000 for the population I have been working with, the Indonesian elderly transgender community in Jakarta.
I established a laundromat for FKWI as a source of income generation that would support the shelter in providing social services as well as to provide employment to some of its members.
Due to the Covid-19 Pandemic, I managed the project remotely with the assistance of other volunteers. The laundromat was established in August 2021.
