About Us
Born from compassion, growing through love
Yayasan Saint Lusia Angello (YSLA) was founded by Mother Lusia Owa, a humble woman from Flores, Ende, East Nusa Tenggara. After nine years as a nun serving children with special needs, in 2017 she chose to return to lay life so she could serve more broadly.
Our service began in September 2021 and the foundation was officially registered on 11 March 2023. Today, 20 children, from babies to teenagers, live with us in West Jakarta, together with 6 caregivers who walk beside them every single day.

One real story
Ricky, from this home to the Indonesian Army
Rikardus Ndona Ndore (Ricky), born in Koporombo on 15 July 2005, grew up here. After graduating from senior high school he told Mother Lusia he wanted to serve as a soldier. She backed him fully and helped him prepare for every entry requirement. While he waited for the call, he helped look after the younger children in the home. Today he serves in the Indonesian Army, stationed in Papua.
