Yayasan AusRelief
Although, foreign NGOs and charities are not allowed to go directly to the field, given our Indonesian registration as an NGO (Yayasan), we have not had any difficulty.
Our team is now on the ground to help with the efforts.
This appeal is aiming to raise $150,000 to support the injured and the needy.
