About Us
Sampoerna Foundation (SF) is a professional philanthropy organization and a service provider for Corporate Social Responsibility with a commitment to education. Since its inception in 2001, SF has awarded more than 33,500 scholarships, supported 23 schools and trained over 10,000 teachers throughout Indonesia.
With the vision to create future young leaders with strong moral fiber through quality education, SF began by providing scholarships to financially disadvantaged children with good academic standing. In 2005, SF formulated a program for School Development to develop best-practice, state-owned high schools as models for other surrounding schools to emulate.
In 2006, SF launched the first, private Teacher Institute to improve the skills and professional development of Indonesian teachers. Today, this has evolved into a government licensed, degree-granting Institute with international accreditation to develop a new generation of teachers. In 2009 SF launched the Sampoerna Academies, which are international standard boarding schools, integrated with national curriculum and dormitory living for poor children in rural areas. Still in the same year, SF initiated the Sampoerna School of Education, a world class education institution to create Indonesia’s new generation of teachers.
The Sampoerna Foundation is committed to professionalism, transparency and accountability and was awarded the ISO9001;2000 certification for its quality management systems
