Opportunities to help women and children have always been plenty, but even more so during such an unprecedented time as the COVID-19 pandemic. School closures force children to resort to remote learning, exacerbating learning inequalities especially for poorer households and students with disabilities. The burden of household and parental responsibilities falls disproportionately on women. Social distancing measures have a large impact on sectors with high shares of female employment. Ever-present issues such as child malnutrition and stunting also require our continued attention and aid. These are only several of the many issues that women and children face.

At BantuYuk!, we seek to find novel solutions to help alleviate issues surrounding women and children in Indonesia and implement them in our local communities. Through this case competition, we hope to bring together passionate people and novel ideas as we discuss the needs that women and children face in the communities where we live and work, and come up with ideas to tackle those in a local yet powerful scale.

​

As a participant in this year’s case competition, you will have the opportunity to present your idea for how to best address an important issue relating to women and children in your local community while leveraging BantuYuk!’s resources.

You will be asked to form teams of 2 - 5 people, and have 1 week to finalize your proposal. After the first screening, the top five teams will be called back to participate in a live pitch-off on Zoom.

There will be prize money awarded to the top three teams, and the first-place team will receive the opportunity to work with BantuYuk to implement their idea and IDR 20 million in project funds. This is a unique opportunity to put your ideas into action through leveraging BantuYuk!’s resources and teamwork.
