IDEP Foundation
About

An Indonesian NGO based in Bali, IDEP was founded in 1999 during the height of Indonesia’s economic crisis. IDEP supports effective community development and disaster management. Through a wide network of grass roots initiatives in Indonesia, IDEP delivers community based disaster management at all stages of disaster; preparedness, response and recovery.

IDEP’s mandate is to be ‘on the ground’ within 36 hours of a disaster occuring, when immediate relief is most needed. IDEP played a significant role in emergency response for the Bali bombings and delivered over US $1 million of ‘appropriate aid’ to survivors in  Aceh after the Asian Tsunami. The foundation also delivers innovative Permaculture trainings for sustainable development and disaster recovery. Through its work IDEP facilitates better living standards for people throughout Indonesia and the wider world. 

IDEP is supported by numerous international and local donors and volunteers. At IDEP, they believe and demonstrate that together they can indeed make the differences that shapes their collective future.

To date the work that has been done has resulted in:

  • - Over 10,000 kids joined environmental educational activities

  • - Over 14,000 downloads of educational media
