The SD Indonesia Team

Susila Dharma Indonesia is a non-governmental organization founded in 1988 to coordinate and support social and humanitarian projects. The aim is to cooperate with all institutions, religions, government agencies and groups of people who share the objective of "one united humanity" for providing services in the areas of health, education, children's care, emergency relief and community development. SD Indonesia operates from an office in Jakarta.

In recent years SD Indonesia has become very active with emergency relief and recovery in response to the 2005 Tsunami in Aceh, the Jogjakarta earthquake and floods in Jakarta. SD Indonesia has implemented a program UNOCHA (United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs) for implementing micro credit projects for economic recovery in West Java tsunami / Pangandaran with additional funding from the Japan National Council for Social Welfare.
