Padamu Indonesia

Our Values

Padamu Indonesia works with Indonesian women. We support their role as caregivers, recognizing that supporting them is the first step in facilitating change and encouraging political participation.

Padamu Indonesia fosters a community of active and inspired students, who want to make and see change within their community. Volunteers work with one another, discussing ways to most effectively pursue projects.

Padamu Indonesia encourages political participation among women. Political participation includes the action of women engaging with their community to discuss issues and make collective decisions. We hope to urge women to take this initiative and use their voices to address daily struggles.

About Padamu Indonesia

Current Project: Air Untuk Anak Bangsa

Air Untuk Bangsa aims to provide clean and accessible water to the people of Tlilir, a village in Indonesia, through rainwater harvesting. Padamu Indonesia’s goal to inspire women to increase their political participation can only be achieved when basic needs such as clean water are addressed. Through this project, we aim to show that change is possible even for daily struggles, such as getting clean water.

This project works with Sekolah Air Hujan, an organization that teaches villages rainwater harvesting. The goals of this project are to

Educate Tlilir villagers rainwater harvesting with the aid of Sekolah Air Hujan
Implement rainwater harvesting systems
Educate middle and high-school students on the importance of clean water and how to access it

At Padamu Indonesia, volunteers are an integral part of our community. We value your time, effort, and concern for Indonesian womens’ political participation.
During Air Untuk Anak Bangsa, volunteers will learn about rainwater harvesting, how to implement these machines, and how they can bring clean water to Indonesian villages. A select number of volunteers will go to learn about rainwater harvesting with Sekolah Air Hujan. Volunteers will also be sent to Tlilir, Temanggung to aid and view the implementation of the rainwater harvesting systems.
All volunteers are welcome to learn more about Indonesian womens’ political participation and what they can do to help!

Padamu Indonesia to Sleman

Rainwater Harvesting Seminar with Sekolah Air Hujan

On November 18, volunteers made their way to Sleman, Yogyakarta to learn about rainwater harvesting with Sekolah Air Hujan. In addition to the five highschools, representatives from Tlilir, the village we will be aiding with clean water, attended the seminar.

Speakers from Sekolah Air Hujan discussed the rainwater harvesting system and the importance of taking action to utilize this untapped yet abundant resource! We ended our time with a quick tour around the small village to see the rainwater harvesting systems up close.
The rainwater harvesting seminar was an excellent way for students to learn about rainwater harvesting while growing together as active changemakers.
