At ASA Foundation, we are committed to promoting human rights by fostering a culture of respect for fundamental freedoms, while cultivating peace, tolerance, and gender equality in the communities we serve. Our work is rooted in the belief that every child and young person deserves to live in a safe, inclusive environment where they can reach their full potential.

Through partnerships with global organizations like the U.S. Embassy, USAID, FIFA Foundation, and Save the Children, we work in some of the most conflict-prone regions of Southeast Asia, including Aceh, Central Sulawesi, Papua (Indonesia), Mindanao (Philippines), and southern Thailand. Our mission in these areas is to reduce violence, promote social cohesion, and support communities in building a future rooted in peace and mutual understanding.

We achieve this through a combination of impactful strategies:

• Training of Trainers (ToT) Workshops: Empowering educators, community leaders, and youth mentors with the tools to create safe spaces and promote non-violent conflict resolution.
• Digital Learning Platforms: Expanding access to education and life skills training, especially for vulnerable youth in remote or underserved areas.
• Inclusive Edu-Sports Coaching: Using the power of sports to teach critical values such as teamwork, discipline, and respect, while also breaking down social and cultural barriers.

Our commitment to child protection is unwavering. Through collaboration with the UEFA Foundation for Children and adherence to the International Safeguards for Children in Sport, we ensure that all staff, coaches, and program beneficiaries receive comprehensive child safety training. This framework helps us create environments where children are not only protected from harm but are also empowered to thrive.

Since 2009, young leaders from Indonesia have had the opportunity to participate in the U.S. Embassy-supported Sports Visitors Program in the United States. These life-changing experiences connect participants with peers from around the world through global education workshops focused on combating violence, terrorism, and crime. Many return home inspired to become agents of change in their own communities, using the knowledge and skills they’ve gained to promote peace and resilience.

At ASA Foundation, we’re more than an organization - we’re a movement dedicated to creating safer, stronger, and more inclusive societies, one community at a time!
