Ba Futuru is a non-profit development organization that is funded by financial contributions and donations from individuals and donor organizations. Your help will allow us continue to reach out to the children of Timor-Leste.
The current civil strife in Timor-Leste has resulted in thousands of people living in temporary camps. Ba Futuru is calling for donations to provide therapeutic artistic activities to help the internally displaced children and youth cope with the fear, loss and grief.
You can support Ba Futuru through the purchase of photographs, calendars, postcards and orginal artwork. Make an ideal gift while making a positive contribution in the lives of East Timorese children.
