About Lentera Cilik Nusantara
Rooted in love for our community, working for children’s futures.
LCN is a social education initiative that seeks to strengthen foundational literacy and character among children in Labuan Bajo. We believe local development must go hand in hand with preparing people for the future—and that this begins in childhood.
Three foundations that drive LCN
The points below explain why we exist and how we work — from love for our homeland, to preparing Labuan Bajo’s human resources, to a faith-inspired calling.
🌏
02. Preparing Labuan Bajo’s future generation
Labuan Bajo is known as a tourism destination that draws attention from Indonesia and around the world. This growth brings both opportunities and challenges. Children therefore need a strong foundation in literacy, character, communication, and critical thinking from an early age.
✦
03. A faith-inspired call to serve the city
This initiative is also inspired by the biblical call to “seek the welfare of the city” (Jeremiah 29:7) and to be the salt and light of the world (Matthew 5:13–16). For LCN, faith is expressed through love, care, and practical service to others.
Founded on 28 April 2026
Lentera Cilik Nusantara was founded by Audilia on 28 April 2026 as an expression of love for her hometown and a commitment to children’s education in Labuan Bajo.
Believing that regional development depends on preparing its people, LCN began by strengthening literacy, nurturing character, and connecting learning to children’s real lives.
LCN’s direction and values
Growing skills, character, and compassion.
LCN is guided by care and compassion. We aim to make education relevant to children’s lives and the communities in which they grow.

The LCN approach
“Children’s progress should be observed, documented, and supported—not simply assumed.”

Learning with care
Tutors support learning with care, patience, and attention to each child’s needs.
Contextual, theme-based learning
Learning from the place children call home.
LCN brings the life and context of Labuan Bajo and East Nusa Tenggara into learning. Children explore, understand, and learn to talk about the culture and environment around them.
🦎
Literacy through local life
Reading and writing through stories, places, wildlife, nature, and everyday experiences familiar to children.
🗣️
Language for communication
Help children express ideas about family, school, culture, and their community at a level appropriate to them.
🧩
Mathematics in everyday life
Connect numbers and reasoning to everyday situations so children learn to understand, not just memorise.
LCN helps children appreciate the richness of their own region while preparing to participate in an increasingly connected world.
Social commitment
Learning and serving, growing with the community.
Although still a young initiative, LCN seeks to serve communities in East Nusa Tenggara. One activity undertaken with the team was a fundraising effort for residents affected by a natural disaster in West Manggarai.
🤝
Working together for humanitarian support
During a fundraiser for residents affected by a natural disaster in West Manggarai, LCN and its team raised IDR 5,815,000. After event expenses of IDR 1,464,000, the remaining IDR 4,351,000 was allocated across four locations, IDR 1,087,000 each. A final public report should be supported by distribution records and documentation.
📋
Transparency and accountability
LCN is committed to clear documentation and reporting so the community can understand the purpose, process, and outcomes of its social activities.
