XSProject donates a portion of its revenues directly to a scholarship fund that supports some of Indonesia’s poor, the children of trash pickers. With the educational opportunities provided by XSProject, these children can choose to pursue a brighter future, and eventually improve their standard of living, away from the trash heaps.
