Every Indonesian CHild from age of 6-16 (elementary school-secondary school, if they go to public/state school, they don't have to pay any fee. However, if the go to private school, they will have to pay monthly. the tuition fee varies
Each time per year/per semester, they need to pay for activities fee, books, and uniform. the cost varies.
the best way, is to go to the school, and ask them how much is the total money for a child. School usually have list of students who are disadvantage (financially). They will help you in sorting out who to give. If you give it to the child/parents, usually the money might end up not used for paying their school. So....it's a bit of risk.
There are also several local NGO that can help you with this.
