Indonesia
From helping children grow healthier to providing low-cost financial services to aspiring entrepreneurs, our program in Indonesia is nearly as vast as the nation's myriad islands.
For years, Mercy Corps has helped more than 1,000,000 Indonesians across the country's vast expanse of islands. With December 2004's tsunami, the May 2006 Java Earthquake and flooding in Jakarta, our work in Indonesia expanded. In addition to supporting disaster recovery, we're also helping mothers keep their children healthy, launching innovative programs in urban slums and have recently created a "bank of banks" designed to help small business owners to lift their families from poverty and establish strong, vibrant local economies.
