IDEP

IDEP Sumatran Relief Program http://www.idepfoundation.org/ (Indonesian Development of Education and Permaculture)

IDEP, a non profit non-governmental organization, was formed by deeply caring and very talented people to cope with the horrendous disaster of the Bali bombing a few years ago. They are integrated into Indonesian society, speak the language, and are culturally sensitive to the many various unique cultures that make up Indonesia. They have shown great strength under difficult times and have a way with taking a few dollars and turning it into real help for people. Since the bombing in Bali IDEP has been preparing for any disaster and educating communities on how to care for themselves in such an event. Now they are in Aceh helping on every level of humanitarian support.

IDEP is committed to developing self-sustainability and directly empowering local communities to improve their own situations. They believe that permanent results can be achieved through local empowerment.
