We think people in Indonesia should fend for themselves. That’s why, over the last three years, we’ve been scaling up our ‘Building Resilience’ programme. Working closely with the country government, as well as civil society and community action groups, we’re coordinating our efforts to ensure the people of Indonesia are better prepared to cope with whatever nature throws at them. It’s a huge challenge - this is a part of the world that’s particularly prone to natural disasters. But we’ve already made tremendous headway. Currently, we are going to implement Building resilience replication in West Sumatera. And with your help, we’ll bring greater peace of mind and security to those who live in the region.
