On May 1, 2025, Habitat for Humanity Indonesia celebrates its service as it reaches its 28th anniversary. This journey has been filled with hope, hard work, and collaboration to provide better living conditions for low-income communities across Indonesia.
For nearly three decades, Habitat Indonesia has made a significant impact, reaching over 215,000 families through various programs that touch upon the fundamental aspects of their lives. Programs such as decent housing, access to clean water and sanitation, disaster response, economic empowerment, development of education and health facilities, and partnerships to improve housing access, all aim to help communities achieve a better quality of life.
In 2025, Habitat Indonesia has successfully built 39,478 decent homes, an increase from 38,869 homes the previous year. A total of 31,375 families now have access to clean water and proper sanitation, a significant increase from 27,009 families in 2024. Additionally, 71,504 families have received renovation funding, demonstrating a commitment to creating safer and more comfortable homes.
These numbers are the result of the hard work of the entire Habitat Indonesia staff and all those who have tirelessly worked in various regions, including Jakarta, Tangerang, Bogor, Karawang, Cilegon, Yogyakarta, Gresik, and Batam with the involvement of 2,399 volunteers from various background.

This success would not have been possible without the dedication, enthusiasm, and solid teamwork, as well as the support of various stakeholders, including partners, donors, and volunteers who have always been by our side. Habitat Indonesia stands strong thanks to this collaboration, which allows us to continue carrying out our noble mission of helping millions of families secure decent housing. Without them, these achievements would have been difficult to achieve.
“We believe that every individual has the right to a decent place to live. On behalf of all the families we have helped, we would like to express our deepest gratitude to everyone who has been part of this journey,” said Handoko Ngadiman, National Director of Habitat for Humanity Indonesia.
With continued enthusiasm, Habitat Indonesia is committed to moving forward. The programs we run not only provide short-term assistance but also long-term impacts that enhance the overall quality of life in communities. We believe that true change begins with providing opportunities, and we are determined to continue opening those opportunities for more families.
“We are confident that, through collaboration, we can create real change that not only meets basic needs but also paves the way to prosperity for more people,” added Handoko.
Habitat Indonesia’s journey is far from over. There are still many families in need of assistance. However, we will continue to stand by them, providing access to decent housing and opening opportunities for a brighter future for millions of families in Indonesia.
Let us join hands and be part of the real change. For a better future, for every family, for a better Indonesia.
