EDL Foundation - Mission statement
The EDL
Foundation is a non profit, non governmental organization dedicated to helping
provide basic necessities and infrastructure for children living in orphanages
in developing countries. The foundation’s mission is to acquire funds to
directly provide comprehensive support and educational
possibilities to vulnerable and under-privileged orphans.
The first
project of the EDL Foundation is supporting the
Miftahurrohmah Orphanage in Java, Indonesia, an area severely damaged by a
strong earthquake on
May 27, 2006.

HOW it started
The founder
of the EDL Foundation arrived in Java the day of the earthquake. She was
shocked beyond words to see the devastation of this beautiful island and the
despair of the victims who were left with nothing but their suffering. Her
decision to create this foundation came after seeing the conditions in which
the children at the Miftahurrohmah orphanage live in. Their need for a safer
structure, a proper plumbing system, and basic necessities such as food and
a mattress to sleep on, made her realize that she had to do something to make
life more liveable for these orphans.
After
returning several times to Java to follow up on the structural repairs being
done and personally bring items and funds to continue the ongoing project,
the founder wanted for the rest of the world to know the devastation and
desperate need for help that is necessary for these orphans and victims of a
natural disaster.
