The Jack Price Project is a volunteer-run program on Sumba, Indonesia, helping deaf and hearing-impaired kids thrive. We do more than fit hearing aids: weekly English classes, adaptive surfing, fitness sessions, and mixed-ability basketball ensure every child can learn, play, and belong.

Urgent need

Twelve bright children rely on us. Nine already hear the world clearly; three still live in silence. A paediatric hearing-aid set costs A $2,000. We need A $6,000 to fit the final three and open a lifetime of language, laughter, and learning.

Where your money goes:

- Sumba Centre building & upkeep: 900M IDR ($85,000 AUD)

- One hearing-aid set: 22M IDR ($2,000 AUD)

- Speech therapy: 900K IDR ($85 AUD) per child, per month × 12 children

- Basketball Court Hire (basketball/fitness): 250,000 IDR ($5 AUD) per week

Transport to activities: 2M IDR ($190 AUD) per month

Learning materials: 500K IDR ($47 AUD) month

Whiteboards: 600K IDR ($55 AUD) each (6 needed)

School fees: 6M IDR ($550 AUD) per child, per year

- Dental & medical care: case-by-case

- Parent sewing classes: Free (volunteer-led)

HOW YOU CAN HELP:

- Sponsor a Sound: 22M IDR ($2,000 AUD) buys and fits one full hearing-aid set.

- Cover a Class: A monthly gift of 900,000 IDR ($85 AUD) funds a child’s speech therapy.

- Build the Future: Larger gifts fuel the 900M IDR ($85,000 AUD) centre expansion so every child has an inclusive space to grow.

Every dollar goes straight to ears, therapy, classrooms, or care—never overhead. Help us reach the immediate A $6,000 goal, then keep the momentum flowing for education and smiles that last a lifetime.
