WELCOME

Welcome to the Jacob & Carolina Foundation, a place where compassion meets purpose.

Founded in honor of Jacob and Carolina’s legacy of love and integrity, our mission is to empower the next generation through education, leadership, and community programs.

 

For nearly a decade, we’ve been dedicated to supporting youth and children , especially in Maluku, Indonesia , helping them discover their potential, build confidence, and “find their light.”

As we approach our 10-year anniversary, we continue to grow our impact, one life and one community at a time.

 

Together, we believe that every child deserves the chance to dream, learn, and lead with purpose.

About Us

The Jacob & Carolina Foundation was founded in 2016 with a mission to inspire hope, compassion, and opportunity through education and community outreach. Originally established as the Jacob Weynand Pattiradjawane Foundation, it was created in honor of founder's late father, whose legacy of kindness and service continues to guide its purpose. The foundation’s first mission began in Saleman Village, Seram Island, Maluku, East Indonesia, focusing on teaching children basic oral hygiene, reading, and educational enrichment activities. In 2023, following the passing of her beloved mother, the foundation was renamed the Jacob & Carolina Foundation, now dedicated to both of her parents—Jacob and Carolina—whose love, resilience, and generosity continue to inspire every initiative. Today, the foundation remains committed to empowering children and communities in Indonesia and beyond, through programs centered on education, health awareness, and personal development. Every project reflects the belief that small acts of care can create lasting impact—one heart, one child, and one village at a time.■ “In honor of my parents, whose love taught me that giving is the truest form of gratitude.”

EDUCATIONAL EMPOWERMENT

PERSONALIZED SUPPORT

We believe every child learns differently. That’s why our programs focus on personalized guidance—helping each student recognize their strengths, overcome challenges, and reach their individual goals. From literacy programs to career readiness workshops, we meet each learner where they are and help them grow from there.

COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT

Education thrives in a supportive environment. Our foundation partners with local schools, teachers, and families to create spaces where learning continues beyond the classroom. Together, we host reading days, workshops, and volunteer-led activities that strengthen relationships and inspire lifelong learning within the community.

PERSONAL GROWTH

True education nurtures both the mind and the heart. Through our youth development and Find Your Light seminars, students build confidence, communication, and self-awareness—essential life skills that prepare them not only for success but also for leadership and service.

EMPOWERMENT PROJECTS

From scholarships to leadership programs and creative learning initiatives, our empowerment projects aim to open doors of opportunity. We provide tools and mentorship that encourage young people to dream bigger, act boldly, and contribute meaningfully to their communities.

TRANSFORMING LIVES

At the heart of our mission is the belief that every life has the potential to shine. Through education, mentorship, and compassion-driven programs, we aim to open doors of opportunity and inspire individuals to discover their purpose. Every act of kindness—no matter how small—has the power to transform a life forever.

DEDICATED SUPPORT

We walk alongside communities with empathy and consistency, offering hands-on support where it matters most. Whether through educational outreach, health awareness, or youth development, our team and volunteers remain committed to providing resources, guidance, and hope to those we serve.

COMMUNITY IMPACT

Real change begins at the community level. By working closely with local schools, families, and organizations, we build partnerships that strengthen trust and create lasting solutions. Our programs in Maluku and beyond focus on nurturing leadership, literacy, and social responsibility—empowering entire communities to thrive together.

EMPOWERING POTENTIAL

We believe that every child and young adult carries the spark of greatness. Through our Find Your Light seminars, career readiness workshops, and mentorship opportunities, we equip the next generation with the tools to lead, dream, and grow with confidence and purpose.

LASTING CHANGE

True impact is measured not just by what we give, but by what we build for the future. The Jacob & Carolina Foundation is dedicated to creating sustainable change—instilling values of compassion, education, and gratitude that continue to ripple through generations.

INSPIRING STORIES

The Jacob & Carolina Foundation means a lot to me. It carries the spirit of my (grand)parents; their love, kindness, and belief in helping others. Seeing how the work in Maluku gives children hope and opportunities makes me deeply proud. This foundation is my way of giving back and keeping their legacy alive.

Vincent Latoel

The Jacob & Carolina Foundation has made a truly meaningful impact on children in Maluku. From the dental health education program in 2017 to the initiatives in 2024, and the 2025 collaboration with the Guidance and Counseling Study Program Pattimura University to teach entrepreneurship to elementary students, each effort has brought real and lasting change. This foundation not only broadens knowledge but also nurtures independence and hope for Maluku’s young generation.

Saya bersama rekan2 pernah mengadakan kegiatan sosial bersama J&C. Sederhana, namun support dari J&C Foundation tetap totalitas. Kami bekerja sama memberikan edukasi terkait financial untuk adik-adik di Panti Amal Mulia Cipulir. Adik2 panti pun terhibur dan sangat senang. Terima kasih dan sukses selalu J&C!”
