In loving memory
The Kids in Dire Straits Foundation is a legacy of:

Mrs. Christina Reep-Burwinkel

Her vision for childcare and her ability to give love to those who are most vulnerable will leave a lasting legacy.

Mr. Rikus Steensma 

An inspiring personality whose dedication to children in need formed the foundation of our foundation. His lifelong commitment lives on in our work.

Mrs. Frieda Steensma

With her warm heart and tireless dedication, she has positively impacted the lives of countless children. Her compassion continues to inspire us every day.

Mr. Rudie J.L. Reep

Despite his difficult childhood, marked by the Japanese internment camp, the Bersiap period, the loss of his daughter, and his Glodok captivity, his love for Indonesia remained unchanged. He was a peace-loving, modest, and beloved person.

Mrs. Jeanne Reep-Hercules

She, too, had a difficult childhood, partly due to the Japanese occupation, her captivity in the Pangkah camp, and the loss of her daughter during the Bersiap. Despite this, she remained a loving, caring, positive mother with a generous smile.
