At Bali’s largest landfill, this program combines daily breakfasts for children with baking, and business training for women, improving child nutrition while creating safer, more stable income pathways for families.
Rise & Nourish is a community‑led program at TPA Suwung that responds to two linked challenges: children not getting enough nutritious food and women having limited, often unsafe livelihood options. Many families rely on informal work around the landfill with low and unstable incomes, and children frequently start the day without a proper meal. Our solution combines daily nutrition for children with practical skills and income pathways for women. The program provides consistent, nutritious breakfasts and regular meals for children living in and around the landfill, helping them start the day with enough energy to learn, grow, and participate more fully in school and community activities. At the same time, local women join hands‑on cooking and baking sessions, along with basic business and financial skills training, equipping them to turn their skills into small home‑based income streams. The program directly supports children and women in the Suwung community, with benefits extending to their families and the wider neighbourhood. Children gain more stable nutrition and improved concentration, while women gain confidence, skills, and alternatives to hazardous, low‑paid work in the landfill. To move from a successful pilot to a stable, long‑term solution, the next step is the construction of a purpose‑built, flood‑safe kitchen and community facility inside the Suwung area. This space will be designed specifically for safe food production and training, with a functional kitchen, bathroom and washing facilities, proper sanitation, and secure access for women and children. It will increase daily meal production capacity, allow more women to join training cycles at once, and provide a permanent base for small food‑based enterprises to grow. With this facility, Rise & Nourish can deliver meals and training more consistently, safely, and at greater scale, turning a fragile, borrowed space into a rooted community hub for nutrition and livelihoods.

The project will provide over 100 nutritious meals per day for children and families in the Suwung landfill community, while expanding hands‑on cooking, baking, and business training for local women. It will also create a safe, purpose‑built kitchen and community space that increases program capacity and supports long‑term, locally led livelihoods.
At least 114 nutritious meals produced and distributed per day to children and families in and around TPA Suwung.
Minimum 80 children receiving breakfast 5 days a week, with improved attention and engagement reported by teachers.
15–20 women completing structured cooking, baking, and basic business training cycles each year.
Participating women at least doubling their income compared to landfill‑based work during training periods (e.g. IDR 1,578,000 in five days versus ±IDR 100,000 over four days).
One flood‑safe, purpose‑built kitchen and community facility constructed and fully operational, enabling increased meal production and regular training groups.
Once the project is finished, donors share their experiences and verified impact reports are published here.
