Priscilla Hall was tragically killed in a plane accident at Lake Lido, 65kms south of Jakarta on June 20th, 2004. Having lived the last two years of her life in Jakarta, Priscilla’s lifelong affinity for people extended into a great interest in assisting disadvantaged children. In light of this, Priscilla’s family and friends have established the Priscilla Hall Memorial Foundation, a not-for-profit, charitable fund that aims to help underprivileged children of Indonesia.
Vision Statement The vision of the Foundation is: “To provide direct and on-going assistance to Indonesian children in need, with a focus on meeting their basic nutritional, shelter and educational requirements.” Mission Focus The Foundation disburses funds to two categories of projects that fall within the above vision:
These projects may assist beneficiaries both with ongoing provision of day-to-day needs and larger, one-off infrastructure projects. The beneficiaries of the assisted projects are children living in Indonesia, particularly orphans or those in other disadvantaged circumstances. It is intended that projects be sustainable and on-going and result, long term, in tangible improvement in the living and/or educational standards of the beneficiaries.
