Kick Off Renovasi MIN 4 Aceh Tamiang
Alhamdulillah, today (Thursday, April 9) the Kick-Off for the renovation of MIN 4 Aceh Tamiang has been carried out. This school renovation is a joint initiative by Human Initiative, Song For Sumatra donors, HI Europe, and HI Japan. The kick-off was led by the President of Human Initiative together with the VP of RMI HI. The Vice Regent and the Regional Secretary of Aceh Tamiang were also present at the inauguration. Some of you may remember that several leaders visited this school during the Sumatra Recovery Program working meeting. There is immense joy among the teachers and students, as they now have renewed hope that their school will be restored and can be used again for learning. We kindly ask for your prayers so that the renovation process runs smoothly and successfully over the next three months

HOME Learning Centres are safe, community-based spaces where children can learn, play, and grow after school hours. In many parts of Central Java, children return from school to homes where parents work long hours, leaving them without supervision or support for homework and skill development.
Our centres fill this gap with structured afternoon programmes combining academic tutoring, creative activities, life skills training, and psychosocial support. Each centre is staffed by trained facilitators from the local community, creating employment while ensuring culturally sensitive programming.
Since 2023, we have established 8 centres serving over 600 children, with measurable improvements in school performance, confidence, and social skills among participants.
Objectives
Open 5 new centres in underserved districts
Expand into Magelang, Klaten, and rural areas of Semarang to reach children in communities with the fewest after-school resources.
Enroll 400 additional children
Double our reach to serve over 1,000 children across Central Java through new centres and expanded capacity at existing ones.
Develop standardised life skills curriculum
Create a replicable curriculum covering leadership, health awareness, environmental stewardship, and conflict resolution for ages 6–14.
Semarang Centre Grand Opening
Our 9th centre opened in North Semarang with capacity for 80 children. The local village chief donated land for the building, demonstrating strong community buy-in.
Facilitator Certification Programme
12 new community facilitators completed our six-month certified training programme and are now leading sessions at centres across the region.
Annual Assessment Results
Children attending HOME centres showed a 40% improvement in reading comprehension and 35% in mathematics compared to baseline assessments taken at enrollment.
Dewi Anggraeni

Inside a HOME Learning CentreFacilitator training highlightsPrimarily children aged 6–14. Programming is adapted for different age groups with separate sessions for younger (6–10) and older (11–14) children, each with age-appropriate activities and academic support.
Facilitators are recruited from local communities and must complete a six-month certified training programme in child development, safeguarding, and activity-based learning methodologies before leading sessions independently.
Child safeguarding is our top priority. All centres follow strict protection policies, every facilitator undergoes background checks, and we conduct regular safeguarding audits with independent monitors.
Indonesia averages 2,500 natural disasters annually — earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, floods, and landslides. When disaster strikes, every hour matters. This fund enables 48-hour rapid response deployment.
We maintain pre-positioned relief supplies at 5 strategic warehouses across the archipelago and support a trained volunteer network of 200+ disaster responders. In 2025 alone, we responded to 8 major disasters affecting over 50,000 people. This fund is our lifeline — it means we never wait for fundraising before acting.

48-hour rapid responseDisaster relief operations 2025Indonesia averages 7 major disasters per year. The fund is constantly drawn upon and must be replenished continuously. Current reserves cover only 60% of our readiness target.
Within 48 hours of a disaster declaration. Pre-positioned supplies and trained volunteers in 5 regions enable rapid mobilisation to anywhere in the archipelago.
Each kit includes: 10kg rice, cooking oil, canned protein, water purification tablets, tarpaulin shelter, blankets, hygiene package (soap, sanitizer, masks), and a portable stove.
Smallholder farmers in West Sumatra face mounting challenges from climate change — erratic rainfall, soil degradation, and pest outbreaks threaten harvests and household income. Our initiative equips farming families with climate-resilient agricultural techniques, quality seeds adapted to local conditions, and fair-price market connections.
Working in 10 villages across Agam and Tanah Datar districts, we have helped 350 farming families increase crop yields by 45% while reducing chemical fertiliser use by 60%. A farmer cooperative model ensures collective bargaining power and shared resources for long-term sustainability.
Objectives
Train 200 new farmers in climate-smart agriculture
Hands-on workshops covering organic composting, water-efficient irrigation, crop diversification, and integrated pest management.
Establish 3 village seed banks
Community-managed repositories storing locally adapted, climate-resilient seed varieties available to all farming families.
Link 150 farmers to organic market channels
Connect certified farmers to premium domestic and export markets through cooperative-based aggregation and quality assurance.
Organic Certification Workshop
80 farmers completed training for organic certification, opening access to premium domestic and export markets that pay 30–50% above conventional prices.
Harvest Season Results
Post-training harvest data shows average yield increases of 48% for rice and 52% for vegetables among participating farmers compared to pre-programme baselines.
First Seed Bank Operational
The Agam district seed bank began operations, storing and distributing locally adapted, climate-resilient seed varieties to 120 farming families across 4 villages.
