Currently The Nordic Club has two main charity projects.
The Bekasi Kindergarten & Clinic
Number one being Anglia kindergarten and clinic in Bekasi. In 1990 the club came in contact with Ibu Els Bakker, who was already helping underprivileged children in the area with schooling and basic needs. In cooperation with Ibu Els the Nordic Club built a schoolhouse and a small clinic. Today this school has about 70 children attending kindergarten. The clinic provides basic mother and child care for the poorest in the area. The school has been recognized as the best in Bekasi and is seen as an inspiration for other schools. The Nordic Club is proud to be the sole sponsor of this school and clinic. Over the years the Nordic Club has also sponsored many middle, high school and technical students’ tuitions in Jakarta.
The Griya Asih Childrens' Home
The other project is Griya Asih, which is a boys and girls home for street children in North Jakarta. Griya Asih gives shelter to 50 boys and girls. The club has helped fund schooling and needs for these children for several years.

Other projects & engagements
In addition, the club has sponsored a variety of projects such as: Medical assistance to children, including cancer operations; aid for tsunami survivors and victims of recurrent floods; donations to the orangutan center at the Zoo in Jakarta: support to rehabilitation center for prostitutes.
Jakarta is a huge metropolis with a large percentage of its population living below the poverty line. Therefore there are a lot of foundations and individuals in general that need our help.
The Nordic Club welcomes donations, sponsors and volunteers who wish to help out in these matters.
