Education is the foundation of any thriving society. Yet, for many children in Indonesia, accessing quality education is hindered by inadequate school infrastructure. A groundbreaking partnership between CMA CGM Foundation and Happy Hearts Indonesia (HHI) is addressing this challenge head-on. Through their renovation efforts in Surabaya, two schools are being transformed, looking to benefit 780 students and their surrounding communities.
