Indonesia is a diverse archipelago nation where more than 275 million people reside. According to the Central Bureau of Statistics report in 2022, there are at least 39,1% of family units in Indonesia still live in non-decent houses.

Habitat for Humanity Indonesia (Habitat Indonesia) is a non-profit institution that aims to help the low-income societies of Indonesia, especially in places deemed as slums, poor, and remote. Habitat for Humanity Indonesia helps low-income families by building decent houses, repairing improper housing units, and creating affordable residential areas.

Habitat for Humanity Indonesia is a part of the Habitat for Humanity International network that dreams of creating a world where everyone has a decent place to live. Centered in Atlanta, USA, Habitat was established in 1976 by Millard and Linda Fuller. Now, Habitat has operated in more than 78 countries. Habitat Indonesia began on May 1st, 1997, and currently runs its operation in Jakarta, Tangerang, Bogor, Cianjur, Yogyakarta, Surabaya, and Bali.

From its beginning, Habitat for Humanity Indonesia helped more than 182,500 families by providing new houses, renovating housing units, building communal toilets, enabling access to clean water, and creating public facilities like schools, community centers, and others.

Habitat for Humanity Indonesia encourages everyone to participate and collaborate with the village community. In driving the communal work culture, Habitat for Humanity invites staff and volunteers to dedicate their time, strength, and energy to support Habitat for Humanity Indonesia’s programs.

Habitat for Humanity in Indonesia also advocates active participation from society in developing cooperation with the government and other crucial stakeholders to create decent places and residences by building houses and streets and providing clean water and sanitation facilities for the community. Each project was held in the unified spirit to grow pride and a sense of belonging to promote continuous stability.
