Latar belakang dan tujuan: Beberapa isu penting muncul sekitar tahun 1986-1987. Pendiri lembaga yang terbentuk pada bulan Mei 1987 ini melihat salah satu di antaranya yang penting adalah isu anak. Saat itu ada kebutuhan (atau lebih tepat: permintaan) asistensi dari berbagai organisasi non pemerintah dan aktivis, namun mereka tidak tahu harus kemana. Ketika itu belum ada support group yang memberi asistensi teknis untuk isu anak. Maka berdirilah lembaga ini dengan tujuan memfasilitasi pengembangan anak (kritis, kreatif, kooperatif, apresiatif dan emansipatif/partisipatif), dan memfasilitasi pengembangan lingkungan sosial budaya dan politik yang kondusif bagi pengembangan kapasitas anak.
Bidang dan bentuk kegiatan: Bidang kegiatan utama lembaga ini adalah hukum, hak asasi manusia, dan hak anak, dengan gender sebagai bidang kegiatan penunjang. Penyelenggaraannya berbentuk studi, penelitian, survai, pendidikan dan pelatihan, penerbitan dan publikasi, advokasi, serta seminar, diskusi dan lokakarya. Pengembangan dan pendampingan anak dimasukkan sebagai bentuk kegiatan penunjang.
Program: Kegiatan yang pernah dijalankan sejak 1988 sampai 1996 adalah program pengembangan pendidikan alternatif, survai dan semiloka pelacuran anak, kegiatan kompilasi lagu, dongeng dan mainan anak tradisional, lokakarya nasional hak anak, latihan konvensi hak anak, dan upaya penanganan buruh anak sekaligus pendokumentasian program.
Publikasi: Menerbitkan beberapa buku tentang anak dan sempat mengeluarkan buletin yang kini nonaktif.
Sumber dana: Selain bantuan hibah dari lembaga-lembaga internasional (misalnya Terre des Hommes, NOVIB, OXFAM Inggris, Save the Children Swedia, ILO-IPEC, ECPAT-Aus, dan lain-lain), pendapatan dari jasa kerja sama dengan pihak lain, serta sumbangan pribadi dalam negeri.
Keanggotaan dan wilayah kerja: Aktif terlibat dalam Forum LSM Yogyakarta, INFID dan AWDI serta tercatat sebagai anggota dalam CWA, Forum Asia, ECPAT International, NGO Group For The CRC (Focal Point on Sexual Exploitation of Children). Wilayah kerjanya mencakup seluruh Indonesia.
Staf: Lembaga ini memiliki 5 orang karyawan (4 staf tetap dan 1 staf tidak tetap). Tiga orang berfungsi sebagai tenaga profesional dan sisanya sebagai staf administrasi.

Background and purpose: Some important issues come up in 1986-1987. The founders of SAMIN, which was formed in May 1987, saw that children were an important issue. At that time, there was a need, or perhaps more precisely, a demand for assistance from non-government organizations and activists, but the founders of SAMIN did not know where to go. At that time, there was no support group which could provide technical assistance for handling children issues. Accordingly, SAMIN was set up with the aim to facilitate the development of children (so that they become critical, creative, appreciative and emancipate/participative). Moreover, the organization also aims to facilitate the development of social and cultural environment as well as a political climate which are conducive to the development of the capacity of children.
Area and form of activities: Law, human rights, and the rights of children are SAMIN’s main fields of activity. Gender is its supporting field of service. All of its activities are carried out in the forms of study, research, survey, education and training, publication, advocacy, seminar, discussion and workshop. Development and facilitation of children are not forgotten, although they are included in the supporting fields of activity.
Program: The remarkable programs carried out by SAMIN in the 1988-1996 period included alternative education development, survey and seminars/workshops on child prostitutes, compilation of songs and traditional toys for children, national workshops on the rights of children, training on the connection of the rights of children, the handling of child laborers, and programs documentation.
Publication: SAMIN publishes some books about children, and published a bulletin (it no longer comes out).
Funding sources: Grants from international agencies (like Terre des Hommes, NOVIB, OXFAM-UK, Save the Children-Sweden, ILO-IPEC, ECPAT-Aus, and others), the remuneration of the projects carried out by SAMIN together with other parties, and donations from individuals in Indonesia.
Membership and working area: The foundation is active in Yogyakarta’s NGOs Forum, INFID and AWDI. It is also a member of CWA, Asia Forum, ECPAT International, NGO Group For The CRC (Focal Point on Sexual Exploitation of Children). It operates in areas throughout Indonesia.
Staff: SAMIN has 5 workers (4 full-time and 1 part-time). Of them, three are professional staff members, while the other two are administration workers.
