21-year-old Rilly is from Riau, Sumatra and the third of 3 siblings. One of her sisters already works but her income is not enough to meet her needs, whereas her younger sister still attends junior high school. Rilly has graduated from senior high school and wanted to continue her education but her family’s financial recources were not enough. Her parents have a small warung in front of her house where they sell everyday commodities. Her parents’ income is around IDR 1.000.000 per month (approx.USD 73). Rilly gave up on her dream of further studying and tried to find a job but got not accepted. Studying at Bali WISE will finally give her the opportunity to continue her education, improve her skills and significantly increase her chances in finally succeeding in the job market.
