As one of our important projects in Indonesia, Residence 12 has been providing many contribu­tions, benefits and opportunities for the local community in the surroundings and neighbor­hood of Depok, a small town of about 35 km south of Jakarta.
To embrace these opportunities, our team at Residence 12 has successfully taken on and set up a catfish farm at the large backyard of our Residence 12 complex.

This catfish farm was initially started in March 2017 with a catfish pond measuring 2.5m x 3m built in the backyard of the complex. We successfully harvested our first catfish crops of approximately 500 big catfish in June 2017 and we expect to expand this project milestone even more in the near future. To increase our catfish farm production capacity and to generate continuing stream of revenue and net income for our Residence 12 cash.flow needs, we have planned to gradually build more catfish ponds on the backyard which we antici­pate for the ponds to be completed and ready by September 2017. To support and expand this target, we will buy more catfish seeds to help accelerate our project and to produce catfish crops even more in the foreseeable future.

It is our hope that our catfish farming project will continue to succeed and be able to provide a good income for our Residence 12 staff as part of our sincere contribution to the local community there. Therefore, your donation and generosity will be very important for us to realize this hope and in order for this project to proceed further and to be sustainable.

Residence 12 is an estate that provides a home for orphans and the elderly. The estate was inaugurated on 12 December 2012, located in Jakarta, Indonesia. The vision and mission is to safe 12 children, which has been casted away by their parents, and pairing them with an elderly couple that has a passion and love in raising and developing those children. The concept is to raise those children in a family environment with the most care and love, to ultimately making their life better in the future.
Residence 12 was named as we decided to pick 12 orphans and dedicated elders so caring and teaching can be maximized hoping they will grow up to be leaders in their chosen field. There is specific criteria that differentiate Residence 12 with other orphanage schools, we chose those children that really wanted to learn and go to school but were faced with economic difficulties. Another criteria was to save babies that were abandoned or rejected by their parents.As for the elder­ly, they need to have skills or creativity that can add value to those kids/orphans. At the moment there are 4 young adults, 1 toddler and 1 elderly.

They lived in Residence 12 like a family and they don’t discrim­inate between another. There is no harsh punishment to orphans even though we encourage discipline.
